Insight China magazine conducted an online survey of 3,376 Chinese peeps about who they trusted. And their findings are pretty counter-intuitive—folks said that trusted prostitutes more than both government officials and scientists. In fact, prostitutes came in third place as a group, just above farmers and religious workers. The China Daily covered the study this week, saying, “Given the constant feed of scandals involving the country’s elite, this is not bad at all. At least [the scientists and politicians] have not slid into the least credible category which consists of real estate developers, secretaries, agents, entertainers and directors.” [AFP]
I don’t even know where to start with this one. It’s not that surprising that prostitutes beat out government officials who go nuts there with the censor-happy schtick. But prostitutes also beat out students and teachers. And what’s so bad about secretaries? Who would you guys rank as the most trustworthy? Frisky bloggers? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Some prostitutes do that, bogart, not all of them. I’m sure there are plenty out there who value further business and their reputation over 15 minutes of fame.

@bogart and ginger: Because prostitutes want the money, less than the fame, because honestly, would you want to be a prostitute? I think not.

@Coral There’s such a range of work within prostitution that I don’t think I would be able to count it all out entirely. Being a streetwalker I would say no to, but a highly paid woman that has regulations keeping her safe? That isn’t nearly as bad.
