Craigslist still offering a ‘good time’:

As we all know Cook County, Ill. Sheriff Tom Dart has filed a lawsuit against craigslist and Sheriff Dart personally called craigslist the largest pimp in the country. Well now the Cook County Sheriff’s Department is commenting on the recent ‘changes’ craigslist has put into place.

“It’s a little more politically correct, the name of it,” Cmdr. Mike Anton of the Cook County sheriff’s police special operations unit said in reference to the change in name from erotic to adult services. “But indications are that it is still being used to advertise prostitution.”

Cook County has made 3 craigslist prostitution arrests since the changes. So apparently some things are getting by craigslist’s crack staff of screeners. And by crack staff I mean they’re probably all on crack.

Meanwhile craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster keeps pointing the finger at Village Voice owned competitor Backpage. It’s like he’s a child trying to blame his younger brother for something he’s done. While I’m no fan of Backpage either I monitor the arrests made through Backpage too and they have a long time to go to catch up to craigslist.
