Not really shut down by the gov't
[QUOTE=BlackHawk101;3236889]I'm out of the loop! Us BP out of the Escorg advertising?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=BoroGuy54;3236893]BlackHawk have you been living under a rock? LOL The government shut backpage down![/QUOTE]Actually if you read the full news reports about it, the owners of BP shut down the adult advertising sections themselves, to try to avoid having to respond to subpoenas from a Senate investigating committee. Guess they figured if they shut the pages down the gov't would stop demanding that they testify. You have to wonder how long it will take the investigators to figure out that the ads are still there under the personals (Women seeking men section mostly). It's really kind of shrewd if the BP guys are able to finesse it like that.
The government already knows
About the shift to women seeking men.
