Don't Stiff Brazilian Prostitutes

Eight men have been arrested in Brazil after a prostitute there complained to police that she was being underpaid. The men were allegedly hiring prostitutes to star in amateur porno films that are in high demand in the United States for that type of production. They were paying these women $130 per scene, and this one particular prostitute didn't feel that it was what her self-worth demanded.

You know, I don't get paid much where I work. I should call the cops, and have the CEO arrested. I am underpaid and my health benefits are non-existant. I'm willing to bet these Brazilian whores are making more money and are in better health than I am. Unfortunately for me, exploiting the workforce is not illegal in the United States, while exploiting hookers is illegal in Brazil. Prostitution is not, and neither is porn, but if you don't pay your hookers enough, you're in trouble.

And is $130 per scene really that bad? What's the dollar to Brazilian money exchange like? It's got to be enough to keep their samba lessons paid and to buy plenty of coconut shell bikinis while paying for their lodging expenses. I mean, how much do amateur porn chicks make here in the U.S. Two, three, maybe four hundred per scene? Or a cup of coffee and some chinese food? Now that's a bargain.
