German prostitution story a hoax

[Psycho Smiley]

It was a hipothetical senario! RAR!

The Tageszeitung merely presented the concept of brothel employment as a technical possibility under current law; it did not provide any actual cases of women losing their benefits over this issue. The article also quoted representatives from employment agencies as saying that while it might be possible for employment agencies to offer jobs as prostitutes to "long-term unemployed" women, they (the agencies) could not require anyone to work in a brothel. (The agencies noted that brothels used "other recruitment channels" anyway.)

*snip*

This was another case where, like a game of "telephone," a story was sensationalized for political purposes and passed from one news source to the next, and somewhere in the rewriting and translating process what was originally discussed as a mere hypothetical possibility has now been reported as a factual occurrence.

After all the fuss, I thought some of you might want to know.

It's very good to know it's not happening and that it was a hoax.

That explains why no German Tv-news, newspaper, internet-news or radio-news reported about it. They already knew that it was CRAP and simply ignored it.
Looks like that the foreign press wasn't that cautionus.

The story sounded like bullshit from the get-go. Too many things didn't add up.

Well, I'm glad that's all straightened up
