Pimpin Ain't Easy, But It Sho is Good for the Economy !

Let me start by saying I am sure The Chicago Sun-Times has better things to debate, but this article plucked from there website is puuurrre comedy( Thanks Wendell).The authors of a new-book, titled Super-Freakonomics, has created some buzz for themselves by making a very comical claim: that a pimp's services are more valuable than a real estate agent....

Have you gotten your laughter under control, because I promise the story gets funnier!

The authors, University of Chicago "rogue economist" Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner,in arriving at their conclusion that a pimp provides more value than a real estate agent, they analyzed two completely unrelated studies.

The first study used data compiled by a former University of Chicago sociologist, found that prostitutes working solo in Chicago's West Pullman and Roseland neighborhoods earn $325 a week while performing an average of 7.8 tricks, while prostitutes with a pimp working the same area earn $410 a week while doing only 6.2 tricks. In addition, a prostitute who works with a pimp is "less likely to be beaten up by a customer or forced into giving freebies to gang members," the book states.

Even after paying a 25 percent commission, the authors conclude, prostitutes with a pimp "come out ahead on just about every front."

.....WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH PROVING THEIR POINT?! Nothing thats what,lol ....wait there is more....

They contrast this with a study out of Madison, Wis., that concluded that houses sold by owners over the Internet fetched about the same price as those sold by real estate agents.

Why even compare pimps to real estate agents?

"A Realtor and a pimp perform the same primary service: marketing your product to potential customers," Levitt and Dubner explain.

Brushing off the fact that real estate agents actually do the sales work for the property owner, the authors conclude that "once you consider the value you get for each of these two agents, it seems clear that a pimp's services are considerably more valuable than a Realtor's."

The fact that a writer actually wasted his time interviewing these two is not the kicker for me; this fool actually had to go and seek insight from one of Chi-town's legends: former pimp turned preacher, Bishop Magic Don Juan.

The Bishop, who honed his craft on the West Side before turning to the Lord, moved 10 years ago to Hollywood, where he now practices his own unique form of ministry among the hip-hop stars(read fuckin idiots with money) -- Snoop Dogg being his most devoted disciple.

So what does the Bishop think about the superfreaky hypothesis advanced by the SuperFreakonomics guys: that a pimp provides more value than a real estate agent?

"That is a true statement," he said enthusiastically.

"Pimps are the best thing for the economy," he continued, not quite tracking with their concept. "Ask any retailer in the world. Don't nobody spend money like a pimp."

There you have it folks. Proof that an education don't mean SHIT in the wrong hands...SMH @ these 2 authors...
