The news was trying to sound hip and cool and they failed and came off unneccesarily insulting to this girl.


Based on that theory, you'd think rappers are the ones who invented the term 'pimp.' Pimps and pimping have been around LONG before hip/hop, and there are pimps in almost every corner of the world, not just in the ghetto. So, that rationale doesn't even make sense. But, hey, whatever.
