Why should they have to pay more than anyone else taking out a classified ad?

Why should they have to pay more than anyone else taking out a classified ad?

Because people pay them for sex?
As good a guess as I can come up with. I call it jealousy. The ugly people who run the newspapers clearly have to pay for sex and are pissy about it...

I can understand why they are upset. The following excerpt says it all:

Sex worker Ivy McIntosh said people in her profession were being overcharged when they placed ads in local papers.
"I'm paying too much for a measly two inches," she said in a statement.

Obviously pitching the ads at the wrong market!!

"I'm paying too much for a measly two inches" sounds like what one of her clients might say!
