Soulless

1000 words on breast augmentation.
1000 words on podiatry.
1000 words on buying steaks online.


Done.

Now...
1000 words on Chicago escort services.

How in the world do I write about escort services when I have a moral opposition to them? I've already done 500 words for the same company a couple months ago, although there was no way I could write an article directly praising that kind of business. I had to go about getting the keyword in there in a roundabout way. I guess if I've sold my soul once, I've got no soul left to sell.

It's a factual piece not an editorial, right? Besides, I have a moral opposition to breast augmentation...

Correct. Factual not editorial. That helps, as I have to write the article loosely based on the topic and get the keyword inserted in a logical manner. I am approaching the escort thing by writing about how to plan a good date.

I thought I was pretty against breast augmentation until I had to research some of the reasons women would choose to do it. Looking beyond Pamela Anderson, I came up with some pretty good arguments for it in some circumstances. None of those circumstances involve trying to overflow your bikini just for the attention, though.
