Hilarious Cable Info-Bar Description Of The Day: 'Born Into Brothels'

Welcome back to one of NSCDUV's most beloved daily features, which takes aim at the most confounding, misleading or abruptly hysterical info-bar synopses of the day's cable programming.

And while Friday saw Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas get shockingly reduced to a tale of two dudes doing lots of drugs (a couple of other people snorted some things during it, after all), today we scanned the cable guide and landed upon a well-meaning documentary that somehow got spun into a perverse family-prostituion tale.

Today's entry is:

Born Into Brothels
The Actual Story: Documentarian Zana Briski helps out kids of Calcutta hookers by introducing them to the wonders of photography.
Cable-Info Bar Synopses: "Children of prostitutes learn how to use cameras."
What Their Descriptions Would Have You Believe: Fed up with their kids not pulling their weight around the house, Calcutta hookers teach them how to use cameras to document their sessions with Johns, so they can sell them on the black market for extra cash. Damn whore chores.
