Keith,
Hey man I know you watched American Pimp the other day. But there is another documentary on the kind of pimping that LT was involved in. I think it's even worse than what you saw in American pimp because it involves pimps victimizing young girls from an early age. It's streaming on Netflix and it's called "Very Young Girls".
It's very depressing and they don't attempt to make it comical. These kids are broken from a very young age and taken advantage of. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
As for the people who call prostitution a "harmless" crime I don't see how you can view this documentary and still believe that. The truth of the matter is that the version of prostitution we are shown in movies and music is a sanitized version of the actual real deal.
Link to the Netflix Page for the movie
