I absolutely fucking ADORE the internet right now.

"People may wonder why I often spend my free moments making shoddily written, sarcastic, jokey, favorite-bait posts on MeFi. Now you all know.

Usually I get these cases weeks or months after they've stepped off that bus."

Metafilter just provided the means to rescue two people from human trafficking. Oh, you think people suck. Go read this. No, really.

Probably. As one user has pointed out a couple times, there's no hard evidence that the girls were in for a bad time. That said, it did seem like a very shady situation and I agree that the resources and willingness that MeFi can pull together is pretty awesome.

That's just one reason I'm a registered member.

Have crossposted, too. The resources listed on that thread are completely awesome.

Oh, holy shit! I was already biting my nails over the Grey's Anatomy season finale - but reality is so way more intense. And awesome!
