What does this FB status mean?

[isabel]

I don't get it either.

[7costanza]

Does she think the guy in the coat is trying to sell himself into slavery? Or someone else is? That's the only explanation I can come up with...

[swsaradee]

Well, it certainly was bizarre.

[nicechicken]

Is she thinking that the mink coat guy is a pimp?

[isabel]

I'm not gonna lie, this feels reminiscent of "what are the police going to do about that, Stephanie!?"

To be honest, if I had seen that guy, I would have assumed he was trying to sell the coat and was getting creative with his advertising. lol

[agnes]

You should ask her exactly what you asked us and report back.

[fernweh]

I think she thinks someone is selling the man instead of the man selling the coat.

[BaliHai]

Is she speaking to someone in code?

[meli554]

Did anyone comment?

[wise_rita]

I don't get "had a check in my spirit".

The other stuff I just assume she's not clever enough to realize the dude is selling the coat.

I'm sure he'll really appreciate the cops being up in his business, if they bother to action her call.

[nikki25]

He thinks the guy is a pimp and by arresting him is helping out the girls who work under him.

[lilafowler]

What.

[MixedBerryJam]

I think you're also friends with Boring McWindbag. She gets around!

Was her friend Tiffany ever found???

That's Evangelical for 'Something seemed weird.'

Why would a for sale sign make her assume he is a pimp!?

[insominac]

I have no idea.

I hate Facebook.

[meli554]

That is so weird. I would definitely think that he was either trying to sell the coat, or that he just bought it and didn't take the sign off. But not that he was the leader of a sex trafficking ring. I mean, WTF?!?!

[slcjess]

But if the guy were a pimp wouldn't the for sale sign be on the girl he was pimping??

[calle28]

Very odd. I bet no one else knows what they are talking about either, they are pretending.

[jezebel]

I'm preeettty sure that prostitutes don't walk around with "For Sale" signs.

[googled]

Weird.

Please ask her to clarify, I need to know what sort of backwards-ass logic she employed to think calling the police was necessary!

[jigsy]

I am wondering if she was once told that this is one of the "secret" signs pimps use to communicate with Johns. Like, if you run in THOSE circles, you know that this guys "for sale" sign means he has girls?

I don't think that it is common, and I haven't heard of that particular tactic (I used to work at a NPO that focused on Human Trafficking)...but I don't know that it seems crazy.

However, I would want to know if the man was also black, because I feel like there is a racial component if someone is jumping from a man wearing a fur coat w/ for sale sign to pimps.

The mink coat?

I have no idea what she's talking about. It's like she was filling out a madlib.

Are mink coats the uniform of pimps? lol This is cracking me up.

He is basically saying " girls are available, come here." Not that he or his coat were for sale.

[insominac]

Why does she even think Tiffany's in sexual slavery? Maybe she's just blocked Ms. Facebook from her Instagram account and moved away?

Why is Ms. Facebook bringing up unfortunate women?

Why does she mention her stupid Sonic drink?

I'm so annoyed.

In what world would someone interpret that a for sale sign with a phone number on it would imply that said person was selling women for sex!? This whole thing is so ridiculous.

Should I also assume that if I see a guy with a for sale sign on his car that he is also a pimp? And that perhaps if I hire his women, I can use said vehicle for my sexual adventures?

I can just see some guy coming up to him and being like, "hey there, I'm interested." Coat guy is like, "sweet, I want $500 for it." "Alright, man. I can do that." Dude hands over the coat. Other guy stares at him blankly. lololol
