No Pimps and Hoes for Atlanta

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      This Don Imus-situation really has some legs. Protesters in Atlanta are planning to come together at a club to protest an event advertised as a “Pimps and Hoes” party. The ads for the party, which is being held at The Fever in Atlanta tonight, sparked the formation of a new organization called Advocates Against the Exploitation of Young Women.

      According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution protest organizer, Erik Voss said that the party is being hosted by the company that produces the Girls Gone Wild DVDs.

     "They have been known to exploit young women," Voss told AJC. "We’re going to create awareness about the problem of the pimping of young women and the derogatory term that they use — which is ‘hos’ — for the young women that they exploit."

     They expect 20-25 protestors including Stephanie Davis, advisor to Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin.
