Sex pitch for tix?


Sex-for-tix suspect chats with Chio

"Everybody's really supportive," the sex-for-World-Series-tickets suspect said on a Philadelphia radio show this morning.

Since being arrested Tuesday, she's added more than 800 friends on Facebook, Susan Finkelstein told Chio, host of the Wired 96.5 FM morning show.

The 43-year-old assistant public-relations director and her lawyer, William Brennan, scoffed when Chio asked about a report that "you guys are swingers."

"Yo, Chio, me and Susan?" Brennan said.

No, Susan and her husband, Jack.

"I really don't know where they get that from," she said.

"The only swinging she's interested in is Chase Utley swinging that bat," said Brennan, referring to the two home runs the second baseman hit last night, leading the Phillies to 6-1 victory in Game One of the World Series.

That slick answer inspired some whooping in the studio.

"When we go on a crime spree, I'm hiring him," said one of Chio's cohosts.

Chio and his wife might interested in swinging, he joked. "We'll share emails," he said. ". . . I'm about 9,000 pounds. . . . I don't know if you're into fat guys."

Tomorrow, she confirmed, she'll accept World Series tickets from car dealer Gary Barbera, as arranged by the radio show.

"We going to do this thing tomorrow?" Chio asked.

"What thing?" asked the University of Pennsylvania grad student who's on leave from her job at the Wistar Institute.

The ticket thing, he said.

"I was kind of making a joke," she said, perhaps more cautious now about whatever she's agreeing to.

She confirmed that this was just one of many interviews, some with national TV networks today, she'll be doing today.

"How are you enjoying your 15 minutes of fame?" Chio asked.

"Let's just say I'm tolerating it more than enjoying it," she said.

No way will Finkelstein get convicted, Brennan said.

"I will be flabbergasted if the Commonwealth can put 12 people in a jury box" who will declare her guilty, he said.

As he has pointed out before, the Craigslist ad she posted didn't specifically mention sex.

"DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX," it read. "Diehard Phillies fan - gorgeous tall buxom blonde - in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable - I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"

A Bensalem police officer answered the ad and arranged to meet her in a bar.

Police said she talked of doing sexual favors in exchange for the tickets, which led to her arrest on prostitution and related charges.

Give her a reality show. That's how these things work, right?

She does something completely stupid and gets free tickets to the World Series. Wow, that's just great.

This chick is a complete whack job and I would not be surprised if her and her husband were up to some freaky nonsense. It's easy to say you didn't offer sex for tickets once the cops slap the cuffs on you.

First of all this chick is downright wretched looking, where does she get off characterizing herself as "gorgeous" and why is this friggin' bimbo getting all this much media attention

I better move to Bensalem. There must be zero crime if the cops have all that time to troll Craigslist and go on sex stings.

Everyone knows that she is lying about what she meant by her ad. (She did say that she was creative) I hope the cop had witnesses to her offer or that he was wired. As for the radio station that rewarded her for her stupid depravity, that's an easy one for anyone who thinks that giving her the reward that she was seeking is wrong.....don't listen to their station anymore. Who runs the station....Howard Stern??? I'll BET she's added more than 700 "friends" to facebook since this! After all, she's a VERY friendly "lady" and there's lot's of creative people out there who would like to 'hook up' with someone they have something in common with.

There is nothing sadder that a 43 year old woman trying to hold onto her party girl acting 20s. Once this 15 minutes of minor fame dies down we will read a very sad story about her in a year or two. These desperate attention seeking people stories rarely end well.

Alright enough with this piece of trash already & she should be charged with describing herself as "Gorgeous".

This is sooooooo stupid. If I did this, I would have been put in jail and had to pay the bail money and to appear in court. But she get FREE TICKETS? Let see how many copycats are out there to do the same thing again. She has money, she work for University of Pa and has a master degree. Geesh. Show how stupid people can be. Wonder if Gary B. will get some sex with her?

Who cares how the ad read? The deal here is that she discussed doing sexual favors to get the tickets. And I agree: She's niether a but-her face nor a but-her body. She has nothing going on.
