JohnTV

Well this is a little strange for me to blog about, but in reality I'm just writing about things that I find interesting, so I guess this applies.
I found this channel on youtube today called JohnTV. They have a website as well, named JohnTV.com for obvious reasons. Anyway, the entire channel is devoted to chasing prostitutes out of Oklahoma City. This guy follows prostitutes that are picked up by "customers", waits until they are in a very compromising situation, then rushes up and videos them getting busted. He gets license plate numbers, video evidence, sends his tapes to the police, and posts them on youtube.



The whole point is to kill the myth that prostitution happens discretely. Instead, he presents evidence showing that streetside prostitution is a big problem, and not just in sketchy areas. Instead, he films prostitutes hanging around on corners where kids are playing, he watches them as they are taken to public parks and stores, he sees them dishing out services in cars in public places.

All of these things he sends, not only to law enforcement, but he posts online for the world to see. Often, when he scares the heebie-jeebies out of some prostitutes and her customer, he tells them they're going to jail, that they're going to be on the internet for people to see, that license plates have been recorded, and faces captured for eternity. He interviews prostitutes that he catches, customers who he can corner, and shames them to no end.

In some ways, his freestyle vigilante videos could be seen as harassment, but after watching just a video or two (which have all indecencies blurred out, by the way) one immediately begins to see the shameless way this public prostitution has sullied this otherwise pleasant city.
I have become a fan of this guy who shames these lewd horndogs, and I'm clearly not the only person who has taken a liking to his humorous and shocking version of justice. The videos on his site have acquired millions of views, and thousands of subscribers.

If you ever want a little humorous, yet eye-opening videos to watch, look up JohnTV on Youtube, you will not be disappointed.
