OMG! I got Drudged! And Farked!

drudge ***UPDATE: Just noticed, this story was also picked up by Fark !***

I was getting ready for bed and decided to read some of the comments from a story I did Friday . The story was about signs the DC Police put up. They said “Warning. Prostitution Free Zone.” I even interviewed a woman who offers erotic services. (Massages with “happy endings” and she takes “donations.”)

I had 31 comments– which is pretty huge for WUSA9 . As I was reading through them, one person mentioned seeing the story on Drudge Report . He linked to my story! It’s still up as of now. (I already have more than 60,000 page views on that story. Incredible!)

I’m so glad we covered this story. I truly wonder what tourists will think when they see these signs. It seems to imply that prostitution is just fine any other time. Other people– jokingly– think it means prostitutes are free.

Check out the story if you have a minute, 20!

I love the new website Lindsay I am also glad I got to see you live at 6:30 for my first watching your stories cause I normally catch them recorded at 11pm cause I miss the 5 and 6pm news since I get off at 6pm from work

Nicely done Lindsey! Who would have known 5 years ago that when you said your were “drudged” or “farked” it would be a good thing. New site layout looks great too btw!
