Denise Brown is the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson who was murdered at the hands of an enraged jealous former husband. Denise Brown founded the Nicole Brown Foundation and has committed herself to ending domestic abuse. The website for her organization proudly states that she has taken her message to university campuses, legislative forums, male prisons, and even churches.
No doubt living in the aftermath of seeing your sister's blood spilled and smeared across her bedroom, to know personally the rage of the man who sliced her in such a fashion, and just realizing one's own mortal state would be enough to motivate many people into such a worthy, unending, and lifelong pursuit. Certainly people of every political, ethnic, and spiritual stripe can agree that violent, murderous abuse is an abhorrent evil.
Denise Richards is the former wife of Charlie Sheen. A former model and moderately successful B-list actress, she is as famous for her girl on girl kisses, and exposed flesh as she is for any amount of true acting ability. It is understandable though that she might be sympathetic to the cause of stopping violence against women. Rumors have swirled for years as to the veracity of Sheen's temper. His documented struggles with substances, philandering, and general stability might also have contributed to why Richards herself no longer felt safe living in the same home with him.
Two prominent women teaming up to stop violence is commendable. It is their methodology that merits some questioning.
Next month the two will be hosting the "Luau at the Mansion." For the mere cost of $1000 anyone could sign up and attend the "star studded, red carpet, gourmet" event of the season. For twice that you can access VIP admission. And if you bring four VIP friends you can get your own Cabana.
Sounds pretty enticing doesn't it?
For $10,000 you can receive airfare, custom car service, private massages, not to mention all the gift bags that will contain, DVD's, jewelry, lingerie and special "extras."
The event is being held at the infamous Playboy mansion. And for every person paying for admission the promises of pictures with playmates, bunnies, and guided tours of the mansion are also promised. For the higher paying guests they also promise a "personal attendant" for you and each of your party. And for the VIP's free access to the Grottos. These are essentially underground spas and pools teaming with topless "playmates, bunnies, and personal attendants."
The dress code encouraged is bikinis for girls and board shorts for guys.
So the number one iconic destination linked to the degradation of women, the proliferation of pornography and all that brings with it is the best the Denises could do to set the stage as to how to stop violence against women.
I'm sure it would do no good to explain pornography's links to the systematic abuse against women over the last fifty years. Someone would be there to defend the artistic rights of women to portray themselves publicly au naturel. I'm equally sure it would not convince either of the Denises that the most infamous of all serial killers have admitted not just use of pornography, but addiction to it.
Never mind the fact that the major goal of the Nicole Brown Foundation is to advocate for sincere equality between men and women, they seem totally content to partner themselves with those who view the value of a woman something that can be reduced to the size of her breasts, and her willingness to put them on display.
There was a day in our society when the feminists groups would have fought the very existence of such filth. They now operate it. Christie Hefner, the daughter of the founder of Playboy, sits on the board of several feminist organizations and is recognized for her contribution to feminist causes.
It might do a little bit of good to pull Denise Brown aside and ask her two questions:
1. Is this the type of event Nicole Brown Simpson would've attended of her own accord?
2. Is this the type of event Nicole Brown Simpson would've wanted attached to her memory, particularly in the memories of her children?
Perhaps it would do some good… maybe, possibly...but not likely.
Modern feminists don't really care about the real issues involved.
They refuse to recognize that genuine value comes from the worth that God has stamped upon them. Because He created them - they are of immense worth. Thus violence, rape, and/or murder against an innocent man or woman is genuine moral evil.
But who cares about any of that stupid God stuff when you can get as plastered as you want, have sex with whoever and however you like, and do it all standing topless in the disease ridden grotto of "the mansion."
It's all for the cause of battered women you know...

Because their agenda has NOTHING to do with helping women and EVERYTHING to do with advancing socialism.

Denise Brown stood by while OJ beat her sister cause he was supporting the whole damn family..then wasted over 15 million in contributions to her foundation so I dont really think she cares bout battered women just fame and cash
.
or Uno-kini
Let's see. 10 Grand. I could buy 2 Les Pauls and a Marshall. I already own one of each.
...Or a backrub from Denise Richards. Hmm... Can I take photos? Wow. Something to consider...
No. I didn't read the article.
I’d say the only purely innocent person in the O.J. criminal trial was Dennis Fung. He had knowledge which was by definition in the public domain, so there was no book contract for him to exploit, and all he had to do was sit there and get beat up on the stand in front of the whole world. Sheesh. As for the rest of the folks exposed in the O.J. criminal trial, they were all pretty slimy.
OJ will no doubt be in attendance.
>> There was a day in our society when the feminists groups would have fought the very existence of such filth.
The fact that “feminist groups” would normally rail against this does little to convince me to join the cause (as I have yet to see feminism as correct on any single issue since women’s sufferage about 80 years ago).
Perhaps the problem isn’t that feminist groups have changed their tune ... but that their membership is so abysmal as to make their tune completely inaudible (i.e. they’re still complaining, there are just so few of them that we don’t hear as much).
Personally ... I fail to see where voluntary toplessness by Playboy girls (either in private, or in the pages of the magazine) has anything to do with domestic violence. I’ve seen topless women before ... and I haven’t ever raised my hand to a woman.
Sure Bundy was addicted to pornography ... but he was also a psychopath who killed people. His mental condition was such a rarity that he stands out in people’s mind ... that hardly make me see any connection between pornography and mass murder (heck ... Dahmer was gay ... the objectification of women certainly didn’t have anything to do with his creepy behavior).
Live and let live. If the Bunnies want to drop their tops ... none of my business. Let freedom ring ...
H
Enough to make me dizzy.
The only POSSIBLE way this might make sense, is they want their message to go to the kind of men most likely to offend in this manner in the first place. Those who hate Playboy will stay away and those who think Playboy is okay will come.
Uh, from what I understand, she sure would have so long as someone else was footing the tab.
McCullough is confused. If the Juice had made that kind of mistake then maybe those buffoons in LA would have been able to convict him.
I doubt it. The LA prosecutors seem to go out of their way to screw up any high-profile case that comes along.
I think that for one grand you can get a backrub from Les Paul.
