Susan Finkelstein, a 43-old University of Pennsylvania grad student, posted an ad on Craigslist offering sex for money. Well, not exactly money. World Series tickets. They're as good as money.

According to FoxSports, the ad read:

DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia) Diehard Phillies fan--gorgeous tall buxom blonde-- in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable--- I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!

Well, the ad is certainly suggestive. (Who doesn't have a "gorgeous tall buxom blonde" friend, of "the creative type," "help" them out every once in a while?) But an undercover officer who replied to the ad claims that after meeting Finkelstein at a bar and having a few beers, she offered to perform explicit sexual acts. He slapped the cuffs on her, threw her in his car, and, err, took her to the big house for some punishment.

So is this an innocent he-said-"Will you..."-she-said-"If you..." situation? The Daily Pennsylvanian can explain the defense with two quotes:

“She was willing to — if she could afford it — pay money or work some type of deal to get tickets, but we completely dispute and deny that there was an offer a trade of sex for tickets,” [Finkelstein's lawyer] told KYW.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m not embarrassed about my actions,” Finkelstein told the Associated Press.

Yesterday, the Daily Princetonian ran a story on the proportionally high use of Craigslist among LGBT students on campus to solicit sex. Published on the first day of Pride Week, the article included a discussion of how being gay and getting laid at Princeton is difficult, especially compared to Harvard and Yale. How is it so difficult to be gay at an Ivy League school that one must hustle to the darkest corners of t'Internet, you ask?

The privacy provided by online sites like Craigslist is one of their primary appeals, Peter said, noting that it can be “dangerous” for male students to make out with other guys on the Street.

“I’ve been kicked out of both Cottage and TI (by student ‘officers’ or at least people claiming to be officers) for dancing/making out with another male,” he explained. “The problem is, the Street (excepting Ivy and Terrace) provides a poor environment for meeting other guys. So you have to turn to other outlets.”

So Princeton students use Craigslist for their afternoon delights. That seemed cool. Until kids started commenting on the story. If comments on the Spec Giant Inflatable Penis-gate story were thoughtful, the banter from readers on the Prince's website is, well, passionate. Here's a mild example from "P10":

Gays will not rest until they've converted us all. Campus isn't welcoming of you guys??? Are you kidding me??? Half of my tuition goes to your moronic "support groups" that are listed every two days on Point. What else do you want me to do to make you feel "comfortable"? French kiss my roommates?

Leave us the crap alone. Do what you want in bed, but it's OKAY for us to be against overt gaydom.

Now introducing Craigslist of the Young and Restless, featuring the classified needs, desires, and no-fee-sublets of the Ivy League.

We always assumed Brown was the horniest Ivy, whatwith SexPowerGod and all that free-loving, unshaved hippie-crotch stuff. But Cornell — repressed frat boy of the Ivy League — is on the verge of claiming Brown's Horndog Crown for itself, one anonymous Craigslist Casual Encounters listing at a time.

When we last saw Ithaca's Casual Encounters, this chick was tirelessly trying to start an orgy, and the Sun was working a sting operation on pervy professors. This week, Orgy Girl is back and looking to found a "Sex Club":

So Harvard has one, Yale too and Brown invented it....so why shouldn't we have one too? So the idea is quite simply a club whose goal is the connect people who share the common interest of, well, sex and other delightful acts.

We're pretty sure she has confused the LGBT Alliance with a swingers' club. (Just because "homosexual" and "bisexual" have the word "sex" in them does not mean they're interested in double-teaming you, O.G.) Even Converso Virium doesn't claim to engage in anything more than titillating conversation. Then again, you never know when some boring inter-collegiate organization like the Ivy Council is going to flip the switch and turn into a key party.

After the jump: Cornell's $300 foot fetishist alludes to Erica Jong, and a virgin seeks deflowering. Read the rest of this entry »
