The Parent's Television Coucil has become an opertive group for the Religious Right. The commercial of Carl Jr.'s Hamburgers is no more risque' than any other commercial showing flesh to promote their products attacking attention by sex appeal.
Paris is pretty girl and she has every right to be an icon to that fact. No different than her previous scintilating sisters such as Pamela Anderson.
Evidently the parents that belong to the Parent Television Coucil don't have sexual tenacity in their own character in the face of a monokini and provactive dancing in a one minute commercial so they demand censorship at every turn as they are unable to instill sexual tenacity in their children. Pathetic to say the least. I don't have that problem and neither do my sons. Not only do they have sexual tenacity they have never had issues with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. I never did anything exceptional. I instill healthy values, educated them respect for their own bodies and how others did not regard them as important if they could not respect their 'space.' They have grown into wonderful young men with good heads on their shoulders and the freedom to discuss any aspect of life including the beauty of a naked woman without feeling as through they have to act on it.
The influence by the Parent Television Council has gone too far and is selective in their criticism. As noted there are commericals shown during prime time television such as Buick's La Cross which features women who are sending the same message as Paris. The only difference is that it's dished up differently. There is a woman standing naked in a shower, lounging in a bathtub. The message is sexual and nothing else. Supposedly sexual fantasy takes them away from their bath and their shower into a La Crosse stark naked only then to open their fantizing eyes to the reality of their shower and bath again. The commericals are embellished with luxurious indulgence of large amounts of romantic candles burning, expensive bathrobes and sitting under a waterfall with your luxurious and sexy Buick La Crosse.
There is absolutely no objection to these commercials because it's TEXT message is LA CROSSE as in the one Christian Persecution we all should sexually identify with so muich we wish it was us.
There is a double standard. To the end the Carl Jr.'s Hamburgers is seductive doesn't exist. The Buick Le Crosse commercials are extremely seductive. Carl on the other hand just puts it out there as inviting scintillation to watch entertainment extraordinaire while selling his hamburgers. Carl Jr.'s Hamburgers is far more benign in his overt display of sexuality than Buick.
The Parent Television Council will soon be controlling censorship in the manner that is hideous. What is allowed as touching on television? Hand holding, praying hands but not arms around a body or kissing. What is allowed as far as language? Christian but no other ethnicity regardless how comfortable they feel about their sexuality. If kissing isn't allowed then we'll never see Bush greeting a Saudi Prince. The Parent Television Council needs counciling to find ways in teaching their children about their bodies in a way they accept their burgeoning sexuality while having respect for them. The Parent Television Council demanding censorship is a sad statement about their abilities to effectively parent their children without turning off the interest in television for the majority of the nation.
If find most of television boring. I am on the net more than not. All this has gone too far.
Tenacity seems to be a challenge to many of these people including their political affilations that cannot move beyond exploitive old technologies for energy and otherwise. This lack of character shows up everywhere including social messages such as The Schivo Case, the latest attack on the USA Constitution against the filibuster. People without tenacity of character allow permissiveness where they need to show restraint. The most tenacious aspect of my life is being an environmentalist. It requires fortitude to move away from 'easy' lifestyles into one that is abundant with value of higher meaning. Being an environmentalist has been the most rewarding aspect of my life knowing it adds to the quality of life around me and especially to the generations to come. Activism is still another value that requires high levels of morality and purpose.
Believe me that last thing in life that shakes my value system loose is a one minute video selling hamburgers.
I am a vegetarian and by every aspect should stand in ridicule of Paris Hilton and the Beef Industry incuding those like Carl who market the final product to the public and make Beef Ranching a good lifestyle; but, that is my choice and would never expect anyone to emulate my lifestyle ONLY. Ask the men in my life, steak and potato men all the way.
Leave Paris and Carl Jr.'s Hamburgers alone, they aren't harming anyone.
