I guess they proved that old adage true... "66.3% of statistics are made up on the spot"

Figures lie and liars figure

Its shit like this that makes me always doubt social "science" research, since I always think they have an axe to grind.

Like the infamous study showing 50% of college women were victims of date rape (by redefining date rape to include waking up the next morning and wishing you hadn't been such a freak the night before).

The absolute worst part of this whole debacle is that there really IS child prostitution, child/adult slavery, and intergenerational servitude being practiced all over the developing world. But by promoting junk science to grab headlines, these well-intentioned harpies have unwittingly worsened public opinion regarding the data we have on actual atrocities being committed.

These people should all be arrested for false reporting and manufacturing controversy for personal gain, and the REAL studies regarding slavery and prostitution in the developing world should be put in their place. Does anybody have a starting point for some RELIABLE statistics?

"We pitch it the way we think you're going to read it and pick up on it," says Kaffie McCullough, the director of Atlanta-based anti-prostitution group A Future Not a Past. "If we give it to you with all the words and the stuff that is actually accurate—I mean, I've tried to do that with our PR firm, and they say, 'They won't read that much.'"

As Fidelbogen says, you see a lot of this kind of stuff coming out of feminist sectors, especially those that are seeking funding. It's also truly disgusting that virtually nobody looked over the "study" before they repeated its lies all over the airwaves.
