Although it makes sense that more tales were spewing out of England, the world leader of the time, I don't think that automatically means it had "a lot more interesting stories to tell." The provincial can have a lot to offer in terms of storytelling.

Maybe the hookers do but there's a little more moral diversity in the madams.

This was actually supposed to refer to a child prostitution ring rather than a child pornography ring. I apologize for the typo and the confusion it caused, but am rather impressed with the level of discourse that it spawned!
