Sex for sale...for a good cause

16:35 H | Topics: Chile - Sex

Chile's most publicized television event, Don Francisco's yearly "Teletón" in support of disabled children -- normally a snoozefest -- just got hot:

A Chilean prostitute has auctioned 27 hours of sex to raise money for the country's largest charity during an annual fund-raising campaign.

Maria Carolina became an overnight celebrity in the conservative Roman Catholic country, making news headlines and appearing on talk shows since she made her unusual donation to the televised charity event, which runs for 27 hours starting on Friday evening.

"I've already auctioned off the 27 hours of love," Maria Carolina told Reuters on Wednesday, saying she had raised about $4,000. "One of my clients already paid. It seemed like a good deed to him."

We know that Don Francisco looks a lot like a back alley mafioso, but a pimp? Well, not exactly, or at least he's denying it:

"Everyone can do what they want, but if someone tells me that they'll do something immoral ... I'm not going to encourage it," Kreutzberger, who as "Don Francisco" hosts the long-running "Sabado Gigante" program on the U.S. Spanish-language Univision network, told local media.

I personally find the terrible brand of comedy featured on Sabado Gigante far more immoral than this.
