I came across the Mother Jones magazine today when I browsed the available magazines that my colleagues could work on. I searched Google for what type of stuff the magazine carried and the first thing to pop up was their site and a sublink to one of their photo essays about phone sex operators... SOLD!!! I click the link and bam.... a handful of tasteful photographs of phone sex operators. The photo essay affords a quick peek into the identities of these people and their profession. Although I am sure there are people who do this profession out of sheer desperation, the people in the photo essay are proud of their jobs. Browsing further, I come across another photo essay of a grandma that makes clothes for Aryans, yep, the Ku Klux Klan. While any organization that exists based solely on hate is errr... hateful (how apt eh?) the photo essay strays away from judgement (such as the previous one) and just presents the subjects as facts of life to encourage discussion, the pictures shout.... HEY!!! YES!! WE EXIST!!! And that not all of us do this out of desperation, We choose to do this job and listen to other people as they wank off if you don't like us! Suck it! (In the case of the phone sex operator essay) While the other essay shows an organization that is rooted in Americana... The grandma recounts how the old Klan used to beat up a white guy for not taking care of his family. So if you're ever bored and like to look at good photo essays, go check out Mother Jones magazine (Zeet eezz not for zee faint of heart;) )
AHhmmmm, the link is over here
