Captivated part 2

Here's a reply from the Captivated elevator media folks. My only further comment is that from browsing the the wordspy.com site that Gareth Branywn of Wired's "Jargon watch" must be the lord high guru of new words (even if he has to make them up himself sometimes ). Who knew!? Gareth's home site in title link.

Hello Robert,
Thank you for contacting us with your feedback (below). The content from the
"Biostitutes" screen was from one of our editorial partners, Wired
magazine, and was part of a regular series they do on "jargon" that
makes its way into popular culture. There was no bias or offense
intended, and we will be running other "Jargon Watch" screens on a range
of subjects.
Best regards,
Christine Danko

E-mail: Comments: Little disturbed about your use of the term "biostitute" on Jan26, 2005 Hope you will play no favorites and have a full spectrum of such colorful expressions. I posted my own opinion of this at my blog www.rb2bb.blogspot.com
