Okay so I was browsing around, and quite by accident came across this weirdly named Pakistani blog titled Alaiwah! which seems to specialize in nothing in particular but seems to have a tendency of using random sleazy photographs to illustrate its posts. One of the most popular posts on it was titled "Karachi Has More Than 100,000 Prostitutes" that has a photo from a porn site attached for apparently illustrative purposes (but of course it would be popular).
Contrary to all expectations, however, the post was a fairly sober piece about the prevalence and spread of HIV among the working girls of the port city, complete with a discussion of sexual health surveys and an interview with a Napier Road resident.
And then... I read the comments section.
I haven't stopped laughing since.
Nothing I could say would quite explain it. You have to check it out for yourself. Hint: And you thought Cafe Pyala's comments section sometimes veers off topic and goes into a free for all?

Absolute ripper find.... Trust us to take a simply factual piece of writing and turn it into our own little cyber playground....thoroughly amused.
I am laughing like a crazy person. Its karachi's very own craigslist.
The funniest thing was an ad about a male prostitute (with a bullet Looking: – Good Looking) hahah
Awesomeness, in fact, beyond awesomeness !!!
Can't we treat these guys like the Russians used to send their criminals to Siberia?
rofl, truly amazing, these guys are huge in numbers, every other person in comments was crazier than others
Oh this is epic. HAHAHAHA. Wow. Talk about completely sidelining the article.
Hilarious. Wishing you would have posted this later so I didn't have to happen across it while at the office!
amidst all the sex-seeking frenzy and the occasional 'allah say daro!' protestation, my favorite was this utterly bizarre suggestion: "Before posting comments, this is our moral duty to select positive words which are commonly used in literate society."
fantastic :)
epic!
check out the photo used to illustrate the latest post on the blog about the transvestite marriage:

it doesn't get more random than this!
Brilliant. Makes me laugh at the irony of a popular slogan in this country
'Pakistan kaa matlab kya, La-Ilaaha-Il-Allah.'
'Plz contact me on email. I am waiting ur response'
LOL...notice how the sex-starved and seeking outnumbered the religious?
I like this Cafe Pyala, Me want to make honest friendship with XYZ..
"la hawlay wa la quwwat!"
hahahah

Amazing fellow that "Allah say daro" chap, what resilience against that deluge of solicitations and offers.

The story was wired by AFP, and had been carried by Dawn and many other newspapers last December. It is unfortunate to see it being used as something erotic.......
And here is the link of Dawn story.
