Our Crumbling Civilization: Calvin Klein Porn

I

n Calvin Klein’s world, promiscuity reigns, and young girls are gang-banged by three guys (there’s a third on the floor – see his knee?) and it’s all jolly fun as long as you’re disrobing from Calvin Klein clothing in the process.

I don’t think that’s an accurate assessment of what most kids are up to nowadays, and I certainly don’t think Klein should be promoting it on this billboard, which now is riding high over a high-traffic part of New York City.

Not that many years ago, sex in advertising meant an attractive woman in an elegant dress standing next to the latest Buick, or a wholesome girl in a swimsuit that left everything to the imagination drinking a Coke.  Now it means a slut in a lip-lock and under-the-pants butt-grab.  That’s not sex in advertising; it’s porn in advertising.

If you agree and would like to send a message to Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, the company that owns Calvin Klein, One Million Dads makes it easy.  They’ve put up a letter-generator, so in less time than it’ll take that girl to catch an STD, you can send a letter to Calvin Klein telling the president of the company:

Dear President Shiffman:

I am highly offended by your company’s disrespect for the millions of parents whose children will be exposed to your latest billboard ad.

Your company does not deserve, nor will it get, my family’s business as a result.  I implore you to consider how your immoral actions affect the youth of our nation.

Please order the removal of your offensive billboard in New York City and cancel any plans to place it elsewhere.

Then give the company a call at 866-513-0513.

Our Crumbling Civilization: Pirate Booty

T

his post shall go un-illustrated for reasons that will soon become obvious.  Also to become obvious:  Higher education in America is on a possibly unstoppable downward spiral, with students who couldn’t care less and administrators who are perfectly content with that. From the SacBee:

A student group at the University of California, Davis, plans to show a hardcore pornographic movie in a campus lecture hall Thursday night.

The student run Entertainment Council announced on its Facebook page that it will be showing “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge,” a big-budget porn movie that combines computer-generated special effects with explicit sex scenes.

Student leaders for the group did not immediately return phone calls and e-mail messages.

Of course not. They’re cowards.

The movie has been showing on college campuses around the nation, including at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The company that distributes the movie, Digital Playground, of Van Nuys, has been giving it away for campus screenings.

Company spokesman Christopher Ruth said porn no longer has the stigma it once did, and campuses have been showing the $10 million porn movie for entertainment and educational purposes.

So if child porn someday has no stigma, we should just be cool with that? And even if Ruth’s statement is true, not having the stigma porn once had is not exactly a ringing endorsement.

UC Davis spokesman Andy Fell said the campus does not censor student events, performances or publications and had no plans to cancel the event.

Of course not. To censor something would require having to pretend you have values, and we can’t have that!

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
