Sarah Jessica Parker has been ordered to cover up after her Lux billboard advert offended Israels Orthodox Jews. 
Within 24 hours of the billboard being displayed, a senior rabbi contacted the Israel office of consumer magnates Unilever to threaten a boycott of the company's entire range of products, not just Lux. 
With this potentially devastating boycott in mind, Unilever decided to appease the rabbis by drawing up new posters that conceal the 39-year-olds exposed flesh.

    We used to boycott stuff like that about 40 or 50 years ago. Since then, the cess pool rules.

    To Orthodox Jews, modesty in clothing is  de rigeur.  Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs and long sleeves and skirts in public. While they don't wear burkhas, looking like a street hooker isn't approved of by devout Jews. You gotta say something for Jews who've had enough of "anything goes" in society.

    The offensive part is still showing, but they probably ran out of material when they got to her nose.

    I wonder why the media never makes the faux pas of calling them "Puritanical". Allegedly it is the root of all stuffiness in America.

    To liberals people who take their faith seriously are dangerous. Unless they're Islamists.

    Is there anything more pathetic than a 40 year old woman pretending to be a college coed?

Kewwy pretending to be a war hero comes to mind.

The Orthodox will still be offended, as will the rest of us.
I just don't see what makes her attractive. Also, knowing some of the garbage she's said with her political statements it just gets worse.

    She's one of my pet peeves. Not only isn't she attractive, she's just plain ugly.
 As I told my wife the other day, she doesn't pass the "12-6" rule:
 If it were after 12 midnight and I had 6 beers in me and she walked into the bar, I wouldn't give her a second look. And THAT is bad.
