Oh MY GOD! These people have normal human bodies!

Oh MY GOD! These people have normal human bodies!

And kinda cute ones too.

Vanessa Hudgens. Ashley Tisdale. Skin. Skin. Skin.

I will be so god-damned happy when ‘naked’ stops being sooooooo shocking. Come on people, when are we going to grow up? Hudgens took pictures of herself for her boyfriend proving 1) that she is a sexual creature like everyone else and 2) that she looks like most everyone else her age. And this is a big deal exactly why? Tisdale showed a little boob, accidentally. Oh the horror!

Sure they are cute. Sure they are moderately famous, though I’d not heard of either before the ’scandal’. But, frankly, so what? It is embarrassing that the US public reverts to puberty over things like this.

When it rains it pours for Vanessa Hudgens. The female star of the Disney blockbuster hits High School Musical’s one and two has graduated from East high and has entered adulthood with a full blown scandal that seemingly gets worse with each passing day. There have been hints that more photos of Vanessa in compromising positions are coming and some have indeed hit.

Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photos Morph Into Lesbian Kissing Pictures

You’d think Hudgens was the anti-Christ, corrupting the youth, destroying the nation, building dirty bombs out of fire detectors.

And then there is the lesbian rumors…

This time Vanessa seems to be involved in a bit of girl on girl kissing and playing and in one photo appears to be simulating a little action with a friends breast. She has her hand on the girl’s leg and her mouth wide open. Both gals are clothed.

Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photos Morph Into Lesbian Kissing Pictures

… lesbian rumors based on a few ridiculously goofy pics of Hudgens faking a tongue kiss. But so what? Even if she were a lesbian, what difference does it make, really? Which brings me to the second point of the rant…

I will be so god-damned happy when ‘gay’ stops being sooooooo shocking. ‘Gay’ ain’t that uncommon. Gay ain’t socially disruptive. Gay ain’t a mental disease.

Of course, this kind of thing does serve as a nice distraction from really important things. No doubt, for example, more people have heard of– and more people care about– Hudgens nudie pic and Tisdale’s puffy than know about, for example…

After white parents in this racially mixed city complained about school overcrowding, school authorities set out to draw up a sweeping rezoning plan. The results: all but a handful of the hundreds of students required to move this fall were black — and many were sent to virtually all-black, low-performing schools.

Alabama Plan Brings Out Cry of Resegregation

… segregation in Alabama.

But, hey, civil rights? Justice? Fairness? Racism? Hot young ass? Clearly the latter is a more pressing issue.

It’s interesting reading the rationalization for something unpleasant.

James,

Rationalization for something unpleasant?

I don’t find Hudgens or Tisdale unpleasant. I don’t find the pictures unpleasant. I don’t find ‘lesbian’ unpleasant. What I find unpleasant is that people make such a big deal out of it, and I didn’t rationalize for that.

Uptightness about sex is odd for the reasons you describe.

The vast majority of American adults, and a good share of older American teenagers, have engaged in activity well within the range of soft core pornography personally, and probably a majority have engaged in activities shown in some hard core porn. Many who haven’t will eventually.

Yet, they show up to their jobs, raise their children, attend church, vote, help elderly neighbors shovel snow, and pay their mortgages anyway. Indeed, those who don’t have sex (indeed, who don’t have sex with multiple partners over a lifetime) are more deviant compared to American social norms, than those who do.

There is more illegal sexual activity in the bible, which is awash in rape by invading armies, marriage of women not old enough to consent (or who simply don’t consent), sexual harssment of servants, genuine legally binding enslavement of women, polygamy and incest, than there is in a typical hardcore pornography movie, magazine or website.

Even for those who don’t, almost nothing in porn (apart from child porn and rape/incest porn) is illegal if done consentually and without compensation, and there are places (Nevada) and circumstances (theatrical performances even outside prostitution legal parts of Nevada) in the U.S. where even the compensation part is legal.

In contrast, our society makes only the most trivial efforts to prevent the depiction of violence. Yet, the percentage of Americans who have ever used a firearm, explosive or bladed weapon in anger is far smaller, even most police and military personnel never personally kill or seriously wound someone in their entirely career, and almost all violence by anyone other than a solider or a cop is illegal. Hell, even a typical movie car chase is enough to send the average person to stint in jail.

Watch out now! If you can’t bend your brain through enough complicated apologetics to white wash this kind of thing someone might accuse you of having a painfully limited understanding of theology.

Seriously, people need to get over it and move on. It’d be nice if people got that upset of actual important ISSUES for once.

It’s intersting how any mediocre ‘celebrity’ who wants instant media attention either becomes a lesbian or shows some tit.

When will the public wise up to this

Problem is it must work because people keep doing it
