So let’s not cast judgment here for a second…nine women were rescued from a home in Turkey this morning after being held there in the auspices that they were filming a reality show. Only it wasn’t a reality show; the guys behind it were filming them in the nude and selling it online. Yeah.

The women, some as young as 16, were kept confined in a villa in the Beykoz district of Istanbul and videos of them in the house were sold over the Internet.

According to reports, the organizers of the fake show placed advertisements in newspapers that called for “contestants to compete in a reality show akin to ‘Big Brother’ that will be broadcast on FX TV” and interviewed dozens of would-be contenders.

Nine were told they were chosen and made to sign a contract that stipulated that if any of the participants left before two months were up, they would have to pay a fine of 50,000 Turkish Liras. The young women were also told they would have no contact with the outside world, including their families, for the two-month period. Dreaming of becoming television stars, they accepted all the preconditions.

Cameras set up around the villa recorded every moment and naked videos of the participants were sold on the Internet.

Some of the women, realizing the scam, wanted to get out, but were prevented from doing so by the organizers. A person who stayed at the house with them warned that they would have to pay the fine if they left.

Those who tried to leave anyway found they could not because they were locked inside the villa.

I would like to find the Web site these videos are currently on so that I might also dish out my own special brand of justice to these terrible, awful people doing this! I’ve got it all planned out…I’d watch the videos, close the door to my room for a little bit, come back out and totally furrow my brow angrily at the horrible men behind this. Seems like a fitting punishment.

Seriously though (assuming this is real, which I’m attempting to find more on) this is pretty terrible in every way. But at the same time, if you’re going to go this far, why not also solicit sex from the girls? That’s like robbing a bakery, stealing all the cookies, then bring them home and sniffing them but not taking a single bite. You’re going to jail for being a cookie kidnapper and posting videos on your Web site HotNakedCookieSluts.com, might as well get all the bang for your buck.
