Is McCulture spurring radical Islam (or is pop-culture the antidote to terrorism?)
Jewish World Review ^ | December 16, 2004 | Suzanne Fields

When Sarah Jessica Parker, the star of the HBO hit "Sex and the City," loomed large in a scanty sequined dress on a billboard overlooking Jerusalem in behalf of Lux soap, a lot of prospective consumers complained. This was no way for a lady to look, especially to Orthodox Jews. The bare arms and back — not to speak of bare thighs — were quickly covered in a more modest couturier design.

Unilever, the giant consumer goods corporation, got the message. To save face — and money — a spokesman said that it was the climate that dictated the change of dress. Warm weather had suddenly turned cold and the leading lady had to be protected from the big chill. Of course.

So are Sarah Jessica Parker's legs the answer to peace in the Middle East? : )

Perhaps forcing the issue a bit, but no, I have to believe that evil is the cause. And evil being carried out in the name of a moon god.

Sarah Jessica Parker isn't even close to being attractive.

Maybe - but for the specific example above - Muslims view infidel women only as whores and prostitutes (ie - good only for rape and sex). It plays right into their views...

She may not be the best, but she's not bad either. We have to ease them into enjoying American beauty. I mean, start them out with Lindsey Lohan and they might have a heart attack!!! Here is a "not-so-bad" picture of Ms. Parker:

Legs look like toothpicks.

I just don't see anything attractive about her.

She's great from the neck down. I agree. She does not have the most attractive face, but the body isn't that bad.

Why did Sarah Jessica Parker appear on a bill board in Israel. Is she Jewish?

how our popular culture in its different guises is a conduit for liberal values

And that includes big L liberal values as well. Hedonism is a weapon not only against Arabs. I happened to watch an episode of Sex in the City last night. A large part of the plot revolved around one of the characters having her a**hole licked. Try to imagine the impact of that sort of thing in traditional societies. Yes, American decadence contributes to the recruiting efforts of militant Islam.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think a brainless whore is going to "save" us from Islamic fascism.

Ridiculous! Note the difference: people comPLAINED about the pic, and the sponsor responded. Nobody blew themselves up in the marketplace over it. There was no killing. IF THERE'S NO DEMAND FOR IT, THERE'S NO ISSUE. Problem is, the world is full of people with different tastes. In the states, we're constantly having conflicts over these kinds of things. Can't blame anyone for wanting to avoid said conflicts, but there's still no reason to blow up people because of it.
