The taxman takes two-thirds of your virginity [Mark Steyn]

I'll leave the broader issues to Lisa and Andrew, but this certainly seems emblematic of something:

>>> Tax authorities in Germany are poised to claim 50% of the money that a teenage student earned for 'auctioning' her virginity because they claim it was "tantamount to prostitution."

Romanian-born Alina Percea, who is a student in Germany, was paid £8,800 in cash for a weekend of sex with the Italian businessman after she auctioned her virginity online...

It also emerged that, because Alina earned so much in such a short time, she may even be liable for a hefty VAT bill too. VAT in Germany works out to 19%, meaning the sale of her virginity could land her with just over £3,000 in the end.<<<

Silly girl. I got Timothy Geithner to buy a 55 per cent stake in my virginity as a toxic asset bailout. That's the way to do it.
