Check out this story from Reuters:

A Chilean prostitute has auctioned 27 hours of sex to raise money for the country’s largest charity during an annual fund-raising campaign.

Maria Carolina became an overnight celebrity in the conservative Roman Catholic country, making news headlines and appearing on talk shows since she made her unusual donation to the televised charity event, which runs for 27 hours starting on Friday evening.

‘I’ve already auctioned off the 27 hours of love,’ Maria Carolina told Reuters on Wednesday, saying she had raised about $4,000. ‘One of my clients already paid. It seemed like a good deed to him.’

Adult prostitution is legal in Chile. Chile’s two-day Telethon fundraiser is endorsed by television stars and aims to raise funds for poor, disabled children.

Speaking about Maria Carolina’s unusual donation, campaign organizer Mario Kreutzberger said he would not encourage ‘immoral’ activities, but said he would accept her pledge.

I suppose that a story like this this requires no commentary from yours truly.

    Eric, I cant think of anything funny, but I would be happy to laugh, if someone else can share. I challenge you something though…when and where is this line from?
    …”Yes Eddie, I couldn’t be more surprised if I woke up tomorrow morning with my head sewn to the carpet.”

    The clock ticks~

    “Can I refill your eggnog for you, Eddie? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?”

    “Naw, I’m doing just fine, Clark.”

    Wow… I’m speechless. Immoral behavior to raise money for charity. Almost sounds like an oxymoron to me. I’m still scratching my head. The thoughts that come to mind, I just can’t share… I’ll leave it at that. Come on there, Eric… do share SOMEthing with us out here… even a nibble would do! Absolutely NO immoral pun intended there. yikes!

    That’s hysterical! I want to know why 27 hours, why not 40 or 10? Seems to me generosity is alive and well in Chile!

    Char–

    I was trying to think of what her slogan could be.

    “No need to be chilly in Chile!”

    “Visit your local prostitute…It’s tax-deductable!”

    “Don’t you think the kids are worth a sexually transmitted disease?”

    “I’m all about charity, not chastity!”

    “I’m not a whore if it’s for the poor!”
