New Zealand Dilemna

This made front page news on the BBC website. Apparently the New Zealand cops are so overpaid, and the cost of living so expensive in Auckland, that one of the cops there went out at night to work as a prostitute.

That's an interesting choice of work by anyone's standards - I thought people just went and worked at McDonalds or Burger King or something if they needed some extra cash. I guess this probably pays better though.

It's not as bad as it first sounds though - apparently New Zealand made prostituion legal a couple of years ago. Still, the people reviewing the case decided that it probably wasn't the best situation to be in given her day job. She did keep her day job, but only when she agreed to give up the (lady of the) night job.
