Exactly. You've summed it up.
But you've gotta give people the stories they want and need in order to make that cash. Newspapers just want simple stories for simple people who believe anything as long as it can be served to them in one sentence. In reality, everything's a shade of grey – it's never black or white. But you can't print shades of grey, because most readers don't understand it, and don't want to read it.
Was Elite TV Danica's ideal job? I suspect not. But beyond that it gets complicated. It would be beyond the scope of those primary-school-compatible newspaper articles to document the real thought process she would have gone through when evaluating whether or not to go into babe channel work.
Of course she wasn't forced to do it – I'm sure she recognises that more than anyone. But I dare say she did have reservations about it, and I'm guessing that if she'd had limitless funds she wouldn't have done it. Facing facts, most girls on the channels don't do it because they’re suddenly struck with an overwhelming desire to wank off blokes over the phone, or to listen to their relentless bullshit on the day shows. They do it because it pays well, and it usually gives them plenty of spare time to do other things. That alone has to appeal way above doing a 50 hour week for three or four hundred quid.
None of the above means that working on a babe channel is wrong, obviously, or that the girls in general think it's wrong. It's not wrong. It's as valid a job as any other, and it's a hell of a lot more valid than many jobs I can think of. But it's stigmatised by supposedly civilised society (even the day shows), and it's not nice to be stigmatised. So that's always gonna be a factor in whether the girls go into that type of work. And it's also gonna be a factor in how they account for their decisions to the public, once they've moved on into a less stigmatised situation. As I say, it's all a big shade of grey, and it's complicated. And other experiences the girls have whilst working on the shows complicate things further still I'm sure.
But you try explaining all that to a Daily Star reader who can't digest more than one sentence per paragraph. You're pretty much into the territory of: "Yes, I thought it was a great idea and I jumped at the opportunity", or "No, I didn't want to do it but I had to". Danica's seemingly gone for the latter, but what I saw of her in her televised interviews after Big Brother suggests to me that she'd have a deeper and more reasoned outlook than that. She's a bright girl who now needs to explain a very complicated picture to stupid people. And now, it's not really about what Danica wants to say – it's about what others expect her to say, and what newspaper editors think is gonna sell. She's no pushover, but in the world she's in now, she's gonna be interacting with some very powerful personalities... and in these interactions she ain’t gonna be getting money for a smile. If she wants to sell a story, she's gonna have to say what people want to hear.
There's a reason the saying "Don't believe everything you read in newspapers" became so widely used.
