Now imagine you run an NGO that survives entirely on donation money from well-meaning gullible middle-class housewives with their husband's credit cards, who have never poked their heads outside the bubble of suburbia in their entire lives. To stir up more action from the donation community, you can either:
A) expend millions to deeply investigate the black market of a foreign country for years, somehow infiltrating and learning all their secrets, despite being a handful of Caucasians in a small office in Minnesota, after which investigation one might discover that underground slave trade you hoped to find never existed in the first place.
OR
B) For the cost of a full tank of gas, post a fake advertizement you made up, under a blurry picture scanned from a Korean variety show, of four well-dressed, popular idols. As a bonus, in the unlikely event any real moron actually ANSWERS this absurd ad, you can pass his name along to Chris Hanson over at "To Catch a Predator" and see if he fishes up anything once he knows which pond to throw a line into. Make sure Chris knows you expect a "finders fee".
