O'Reilly bashes Pony Corporation for commercials geared at kids featuring porn stars

Bill O'Reilly points out tonight that the Pony Corporation (think ugly athletic shoes) is now pushing pornography on our kids through commercials featuring porn stars. The only stores that carry Pony merchandise are Modells, Foot Locker, and Sears.

Julie Andrews, doesn't sell sex for profit, Jenna Jameson does, that makes her a prostitute by definition.

[PJ-Comix]

Julie Andrews, doesn't sell sex for profit...

You mean she donates the money to charity?

[beaversmom]

You are right about Sears. It won't be long before they go the way of Montgomery Wards. I go there for portraits of my kids--other than that I would never step foot in one.

Andrews showed her boobs once in one of her husbands flicks.

That is not equivocable with a porn actress....I mean really.

[wardaddy]

She's not a slut.....she's a whore. Paid for sex.

It's her business. Keep it in the underground where it belongs.

The AD agency must be run by a bunch of tweaking 20 somethings hardlegs.....really stupid unless they are angling simply for the scandal angle.

Isn't this the same outfit that did something strange to backpacks a couple of years ago ...?? I seem to remember Roger Hedgecock getting on their case about something to do with the backpack ...?? Anybody remember that ..???

[visualops]

The backpack is called "The Assasin". It's at their website, which is a weird site. Much of it is "coming soon". I saw mostly girls with big boobs and rappers, although they had links to Korn and Limp Bizkit. I'd say they are just going for the wannabe gangsta types, who of course have the "ho" sidekicks.

Remember the rule, whenever the hedgehog gets mentioned, he gets pinged.

Not that I know anything about it.

[CyberAnt]

I'm not sure if that's it or not, but I remember the backpack had a cassette tape with it, and on the tape were some lyrics which caused a big ruckus. I cannot remember if it was suggestive of killing people or something equally ugly. I only know that a parent brought it to the attention of Roger Hedgecock, and he went ballistic with it.

As a result, the backpack got pulled from the shelves. Roger knows how to get it done!!

[Viva Le Dissention]

I don't know what you folks are talking about as far as Sears goes. It's the King of the hardlines.

Sears makes Kenmore and Craftsman, and those two brands alone will carry Sears forever. Besides, Sears' new venture, "The Great Indoors" is an interesting attack at the high-end Lowe's and Home Depot market.

[Viva Le Dissention]

And, of course, let's not forget that Sears just bought Land's End. Not a bad year.

Think of all the "mainstream" actresses who've done nudity in the movies. Julie Andrews, for instance.

Julie Andrews’ scene wasn’t horrifying.

Kathy Bates’ was.

So was John Geiguld’s.

[Pahuanui]

Porn stars hurt more people than he does.

Last time I was at a video rental store, I didn't notice any porn stars either (a) forcing anyone to rent their videos or (b) beating anyone up.

[jlogajan]

Julie Andrews’ scene wasn’t horrifying. Kathy Bates’ was. So was John Geiguld’s.

Heh, most porn stars aren't "horrifying" -- at least I don't think so. :-)

[FreeTally]

Julie Andrews’ scene wasn’t horrifying.

Kathy Bates’ was.

So was John Geiguld’s.

Heck, I was blinded for hours after seeing Harvey Keitel in "The Bad Lieutenent", an otherwise not-so-bad movie.

[dead]

Ahhh! That one was very bad too!

Let's not forget Robin Williams in the Fisher King. Barf. Give me Jenna any day.

[JavaTheHutt]

And how would YOUR kids know she was a PORN star if that idiot O'Reilly didn't tell them..??? That is one of the biggest idiots to ever hit TV..!!!

Ummm, the internet? Other kids at school? Cable and satelite tv? Hmm, if Bill O'Reilly is one of the biggest idiots to ever hit TV, you quite possibly have just won an award for being the biggest idiot to ever post on Free Republic.

[Aquinasfan]

O'Reilly's great on porn aimed at children. He's a liberal when it comes to porn aimed at adults though.

On another note, did anyone see his segment regarding the Ford Foundation last night? He seemed to be genuinely shocked when his guests stated that the foundation is guided by socialist/Marxist principles. It took a while for the idea to settle in, but by the end of the segment he seemed to be accepting it. Important O'Reilly epiphany moment. We may all benefit as he connects the dots.

[jpl]

O'Reilly said Jenna Jameson was featured in spots - he says she is an "active" porn star.

If I remember correctly, I think Jenna Jameson was "the first naked woman in the history of radio" on the Howard Stern show. I'll have to go back and watch the scene once again just to be absolutely certain.

[JavaTheHutt]

I'm a kid and if old people disapprove, you bet I'm going out this minute to buy pony shoes so I can put them on and buy a Ludacris CD. How many generations of kids have been doing this? I love O'Reilly but sometimes he's WAY over the top. Do you think buying these shoes will turn kids into porn stars? I doubt it.

lol. I'm not even sure where to start on this one. Nice screen name. I see you have bought into the liberal brainwashing message that homosexuality is a good thing that should be encouraged in children. Yes, I'm familiar with the origins of the phrase 'lesbian seagull', it was a crappy song written by a hippy liberal feel good teacher on a cartoon.
