Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

From this morning’s T-P from a story entitled “Sisters Arrested for Prostitution”:

But over the past few years, flesh peddlers have begun marketing themselves in the service listings. And law enforcement agencies across the country are starting to pay attention. In New Jersey, Illinois, Washington and Florida, police have conducted stings netting advertising prostitutes as well as customers seeking to purchase a little pleasure.

The Jefferson Sheriff’s Office vice squad has made a handful of such arrests via Craigslist.org and other web sites, said the unit’s commander, Capt. Tom Angelica. Investigators would make more, he said, but they’ve been busy helping the rest of the department tackle violent crime. That leaves little opportunity to address online prostitution, where Hare said the market is ripe.

“It’s like shooting fish in a barrel,” Hare said.

Forgive the pun, but it’s all a little breathy, no? Anyone feel like purchasing a little pleasure from flesh peddlers in a ripe market?

If so, you’d better be careful because our amusingly named Detective Hare is out there to stop you from making like the bunnies of his namesake.

And speaking of fish in a barrel, haven’t we got bigger ones to fry?
