World Cup Fans Turn From Prostitutes, Look To Museums

World Cup Fans Turn From Prostitutes, Look To Museums

Yesterday CNN released an awesome article stating that the thousands of soccer fans in South Africa for the World Cup have been turning to arts and museums rather than sex-tourism, which is completely opposite of what was expected. 

The article states:

"The World Cup has been devastating. We thought it was going to be a cash cow but it's chased a lot of the business away. It's been the worst month in my company's history," the owner and founder of one of Johannesburg's most exclusive escort companies told CNN.

"No one is interested in sex at the moment. I think we've had three customers who traveled here for the World Cup which has seen my group's business drop by 80 percent. I enjoyed watching the games, but I can't wait for everyone to just go home now!" the madam, who works under the alias of "Tori," added.

The behavior of fans in South Africa has run contrary to what was predicted prior to the start of the tournament after David Bayever told World Cup organizers in March it was feared that up to 40,000 extra prostitutes could converge in the host nation to meet the expected demand.

But the tournament in 2010, if anything, has seen the modern-day soccer fan attracted to art galleries and museums over brothels.

"More than 690 people in all were arrested on state and local charges, the FBI stated."
and later in the article:
"It is part of the FBI's ongoing Innocence Lost National Initiative, which was created in 2003 with the goal of ending sex trafficking of children in the United States.
