The activist group ACORN has fired two employees of its Baltimore office who were seen on hidden-camera video giving advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman posing as a prostitute.

Fox News broadcast excerpts Thursday from the video. The man and woman ask about buying a house and how to account on tax forms for the woman’s income. An ACORN employee advises the woman to list her occupation as “performance artist.”

Maryland ACORN board member Margaret Williams says in a statement that the employees “did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.”

The statement also says the video was an “attempt to smear ACORN” and that undercover teams attempted similar stunts in at least three other ACORN offices.

Calls from WBAL News to both the Baltimore and Washington offices of ACORN were not immediately returned.

An ACORN spokesman told FOX News that the video is “false and defamatory.”

Spokesman Scott Levenson told the network that ACORN wanted to review the full video before making any additional comments.

Still no word on whether charges could be filed against the ACORN employees or the filmmaker who made the videos.
