Facebook Fail: “Killing your hooker so you don’t have to pay her”
It has come to our attention that there is a rapidly growing facebook group called “Killing your hooker so you don’t have to pay her,” made up of over 16,000 individuals who I can only assume find the idea of dead sex workers hilarious.
Here at SiP we love sex workers, and we think this joke of a group is wrong, unfunny, and downright cheap. So we urge those of you with a facebook account (or hell, just create one) to report this group for being threatening and abusive- just go to the link above and you will find a tiny “Report Page” button on the lower left side.
Side fail: Quote from the group page: “Ever stab your hooker with a blunt object to add insult to injury”… stabbing with a blunt object? Come on…

Learn to take a joke.
Also, get a real job.

Rofl, I assure you that all of us at Sex in Power have “real jobs”, very important and powerful jobs. And we all know how to take a joke, but first the joke must be funny………..

Let the record show that there is nothing I love to take more than a long hard joke, provided it’s well oiled. This joke however was dry and sloppy, and as shown by the links below, we’re not the only ones that thought so. The group had to die, and it was my pleasure to help stab it (with a blunt object) :p
(Side fail: you think this is my JOB? bwahahahahahaha)

There are so many sites going against this. Jesus people, take a fucking joke. Do you realize this is based on the game GTA? I know the guy that did it, and i’m pretty sure he didn’t make it for real life hookers. By the way, hookers are illegal, so they have no fucking rights in my eyes.

Gee middie, maybe a bunch of sites are all over this because people shouldn’t be creating facebook groups about killing sex workers? In order to be taken, jokes must be funny, and there’s nothing funny about violence against a group of people I value and respect.
Frankly I don’t care what rights you think people who break the law should have… but have you never seen cops? Does the word Miranda ring a bell? But what’s more important is that your comment illustrates perfectly the problem with this joke- the people who find it funny seem to be able to do so because they don’t value or respect sex workers on the same level with other human beings. Very sad indeed.
I’m aware of the GTA connection, and I have no issue with people who play it. But if you take that kind of disrespect into a forum like facebook, don’t act suprised if we bust a cap in the group’s motherfuckin’ metaphorical ass. If you play GTA, you should know not to fuck with my bitches.
And hey, I would love to move on from this, but people keep commenting in defense of it. And there is nothing I love more (besides sex workers, lube, and unicorns) than comments, so thanks folks! Keep ‘em comin!

yeah some lady got really upset from that group and are ruining some teenagers lives for posting comments like “raping your hooker so you dont have to pay her is better” and then informing their schools about it seems pretty fucked up to me its just a facebook group if you think its wrong just report it and dont make it worse and fuck up someones life or you might have a suicide on your hands
