A bikini-wearing Jessica Simpson bumping and grinding in the music video for ''These Boots Are Made for Walkin.

I must be jaded because Jessica Simpson is about as sexy to me an Lisa Simpson...not too, that is.

This comes from The Boston Globe, who's ideal woman is Maureen Dowd.

[billybudd]

Lisa Simpson is 10 years old, dude.

Countdown to "filth is free speech" porn freaks in 3-2-1....

Oh, you mean Madame Gutterfly has admirers?

[cgk]

Don't look at me!

......Erstwhile child star Lindsay Lohan appearing barely.....

I guess "Erstwhile" would be a good word to use. I could think of a few others.

[MeanWestTexan]

I think that was his point.

I admit I didn't even hear the word "pornography" until I was 21 and then it was mentioned on a TV show and I had to look it up in the dictionary. I am not kidding! And I am not THAT old! I can't believe it is so ubiquitous.

BLAME LIBERAL MEDIA.

"BLAME LIBERAL MEDIA."

Blame the consumers. Big media is a business. If consumers weren't buying the filth and supporting its purveyors, the filth wouldn't be as widespread.

[in hoc signo vinces]

If someone tapped that, and hard, she'd be a different person IMHO.

[A.Hun]

You might find someone blind enough, but I don't think you could find anyone desperate enough!

[Dark Skies]

Here's my idea of sexy (she's got brains and looks)...

[MamaB]

They can not be any worse that the "characters" on Soul Train. I was changing channels and came across that station. Disgusting, to say the least.

[SmoothTalker]

Nice body, shame about the face. That nose needs its own zipcode.

You are correct. It doesn't matter who thinks it up, produces it, stars in it, or distributes it. If there was no market it would not exist. Regards,

This guy is coming to this realization about 35 years late. And I love the way he tries to blame Conservatives for porn because he sees them as playing "repressive games" that only encourage pornography. I don't think there is a single subject where liberals thought processes run normally. I guess that's why they are liberals. Anyway, a little late in the day to turn back the hyper-sexed society. It has only gotten progressively more lurid and more generally accepted with each passing year.
