Frugal John

Posted on 05. Jun, 2009 by Forest in General Articles

I was hunting around the net and I came across the Frugal John website (I won’t link it and i’ll tell you why in a bit!).

First thoughts was, that’s awesome another personal site about all things frugal…. But I was quite wrong.

I guess with the economy going down the pan people are looking to save cash in any way they can and this site is no exception….

It was started by a guy laid off of his job in silicon valley as a joke. The site is aimed at listing all the cheap escorts and massage parlors in the area and has become quite and underground hit!

No I am not sure what to think of this. I don’t have an opinion against massage parlours and escorts if the ladies are wanting to do such things, however we all know this industry can be incredibly corrupt and young women can be dragged in and made to work for very little cash or anything!

So as funny as it is, I wish Frugal John would actually make his site a frugal living site and not what it is.

What do you think? Is Frugal John funny, no harm, a disgusting site or what?

I’d love to hear your opinion….
