Arnold Schwarzenegger urged to terminate prostitution website

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

A British MP has urged Arnold Schwarzenegger to use his muscle to shut down a US website that allows users to review prostitutes.

The California-based PunterNet describes itself as “The Online Community for Patrons and Providers of Adult Personal Services in the UK.”

In her appeal to the action hero turned California governor, Labour Party deputy leader Harriet Harman said: “Surely it can’t be too difficult for the Terminator to terminate PunterNet, and that’s what I’m demanding he does. And if he doesn’t, I’ve got a message for Arnie: I’ll be back.”

She told an audience of women at the party’s national conference in Brighton that PunterNet contained “pages and pages of women for sale in London”.

Harman said the site, which offers “field reports” on prostitutes, fuels the demand for prostitutes, calling it the “ultimate commodification” of women.

PunterNet fired back at Harman in an open letter to on its website, claiming the right to freedom of speech.
