Californication


Christian?

Sort of.

Opportunist?

Definitely.

Hypocrite?

Obviously.

Surprising?

Not in the least.

she's fucking hot

Master Mahan said...

Man, the Right is just having no luck finding new heroes. I almost feel sorry for them, but then I just laugh instead.

Deacon Blue said...

In her defense, Chez, her breasts did not try to marry any lesbian breasts.

Open and shut legs...I mean, case.

Mack said...

Okay, next all the men who have fucked her need to come out of the closet and talk about how she sucks a mean dick so she can just go away.

Chez said...

Well, I wasn't going to say anything -- but she's actually pretty lousy.

Geetch said...

Why is she a hypocrite? Her showing off her fake tits doesn't have anything to do with the way she feels about the legality of gay marriage. I think you could probably make some accurate inferences about how she feels about the morality of homosexuality, but that's all they would be - inferences, based on nothing she's said about her own moral superiority. I don't agree with her statements in the slightest, but she's a garden-variety idiot being attacked like a member of the American Taliban who's been discovered getting a beej from a tranny hooker. I have no problem with people arguing against her viewpoint, but personal attacks that are unrelated to the actual issue are a disservice to everyone.

I wonder how long it'll be before she starts referring to them as the "holy hooters", thinking that'll deflect criticism as being against her religious beliefs.

L. said...

Is she the one the pageant bought fake boobs for?

Chez said...

And the winner is, Geetch.

I was actually waiting for someone to say that. The hypocrisy comes not from her position on gay marriage -- because that subject and her posing topless are apples and oranges (no pun intended). The problem is that since she became an inadvertent darling of the Christian right, she's opportunistically embraced that label and attempted to milk it (one again, no pun intended) for all it's worth.

THAT'S the hypocrisy -- that she claims to be a die-hard Christian, and not just someone who disagrees with same-sex marriage, but obviously isn't hyper-moral enough to avoid taking her top off for money and to advance her modeling her career -- which she all but admits is more important to her than her faith.

Dom Deluise is hotter. Even dead.

The Manimal said...

You cynical bastards! This righteous woman isn't baring her goodies for money! This is actually a promotional poster from the NOM's "Why Choose Steve When You Can Have Eve" campaign to get gay men to turn straight. The religious right has finally realized that to promote even the worthiest of causes, you gotta have a little T&A. That's right ladies and gentlemen, Miss Prejean is only exposing her firm tits and sweet round ass in order to bring sinners to the Lord. Shame on anyone who would suggest otherwise!

Terry Heaton said...

Chez,

With respect, I disagree with you. A picture of her topless when she was 17 is hardly evidence of hypocrisy. She'd have to be out there preaching about chastity WHILE posing for it to qualify as hypocrisy. I would also argue that you can't possibly know what this girl is thinking and therefore cannot judge her motives for anything. Your issues with the fanatical right are generally spot-on, but this time, you've slipped to their level.

VOTAR said...

I can't believe I'm actually coming to her defense, sort of, but I have to wonder why she can't be both.

Our modern notion of what a "good christian" is (shit I really can't believe I'm arguing this) is a rather puritanical and conservative one. The damage that Protestant intolerance has done to our society with regard to sexuality is something we're still a long way off from repairing.

This woman is pretty* and also christian. Are the two really mutually exclusive? Considering all the energy that has been poured into the debate here over the last few days, it seems strange now to insist that Ms. Prejean must abide by primitive rules about nudity that I would like to think our species is slowly growing out of, finally. So what if she earns some money acknowledging what we can all see right in front of us?

Setting aside the gay marriage thing (a non-story which doesn't interest me in the least, and which only serves to help that douche nozzle Perez Hilton to fellate himself in front of us a little while longer), don't we want to encourage more conservatives (who look like her, anyway) willing to reject all this 17th century nonsense about the naked female body? Or should we burn her at the stake for exposing the flesh of her ankle -- and oh, so much more -- in public?



*Shit who am I kidding. I'd consider converting for a chance to hit that.

Fred said...

I think she is worth at least a good old fashioned grudge fuck.

"I'm sorry honey, you were saying wrong hole?"

Geetch said...

Yay, I won! Chez, fair enough - and I somewhat agree. I didn't take that away from your post because I assumed you meant it the same way as the other people who have commented on her supposed hypocrisy.

Votar makes a good point, too, though - what exactly does it mean to be a "good" follower of a faith? Are a tolerant gay couple who go to church every Sunday worse Catholics than the bigoted, hateful woman who does the same? Can someone be accused of hypocrisy when the ins and outs of her beliefs and rationales aren't known? (Well, yes, because she has publicly adopted a specific dogma.) But in any case, the distinctions of who is a good follower and a bad follower lead to nothing except religious and societal fracture, not to mention further affirmation of my belief that people should spend more time working on their personal relationship with God (or lack thereof) and less time working around the bullshit of institutions.

Jason said...

Gay marriage is evil! But making money by showing my boobies is just fun and games! Tee hee.

Now excuse me while I tell all of you how much society deserves to evaporate while I masturbate to pictures of animals copulating.

Alex said...

And people who criticize me are intolerant! But not me, the homophobe!

Deacon Blue said...

VOTAR...so I guess when I embark upon my dream of creating the ultimate Christian porn site I should check in with you for. You know, strictly for artistic advice...

trish said...

Off topic, love the new testimonial blurbs on the side. Klosterman and Baerwald? You sir are the man.

spazmodeas said...

Alex: "And people who criticize me are intolerant! But not me, the homophobe!"

I know. The idea seems to be that liberal guilt is supposed to kick in and we're supposed to fall all over ourselves saying, "Oh, no! I'm not intolerant to your beliefs at all!"

But you know what? In regards to bigotry, you're damn right I'm intolerant. I'm also intolerant to people who beat their spouses and set their kids on fire. I'm funny that way.

Girl With Curious Hair said...

I love the self-righteous.

At some point after the pageant, she said of her response to The Question, "I may not have given the politically correct answer, but I gave the Biblically correct answer." Ever since she said that, I've been going back to my Bible and trying to figure out where God says it's acceptable to prance around in a bikini and judge others.

And while I truly enjoyed Votar's defense of Miss California's right to bear witness and bare skin without contradicting each other; I have to disagree. She is using a standard to form and defend her opinion of what rights gay men and women should have. She should be judged by that same standard.

I am not Star Jones said...

Why is it okay for her to judge gays but not okay for people to judge her?

Also she actively made a choice to be topless for photos -- gay people don't have a choice.

I wish people would stop cutting morons like Miss I will not be judged by you heathens slack.

She's the one who signed up for this game, now LET'S PLAY!

Anonymous said...

You know, this girl is as entitled to her opinion, as much as any us, regardless of the fact that I wholeheartedly disagree with her.

[Insert your preferred diety name here] forbid we would called out for some of the crazy shit we think, say or feel each day. Chez, I am sure you can identify with that.

The one that should be called to anser is Mr. Hilton who so obviously took advantage of the promoters desperate invitation to ambush the girl. He had to have known and designedly set her up.
I don't defend her opinion, but I defend her right to it.

RottweilerTOM said...

And I thought sarah Palin was a joke, this one takes the cake!

Jerry said...

So let me get this straight, it's fine for the pageant to pay for her new breasts, but she may have to lose her title for showing off her old ones?

I mean they didn't even win.

That's the hypocrisy.

Matt Osborne said...

She says this photo was taken when she was 17, but I don't buy it. First, because the boobs are definitely post-op. And second, because the photographer would then be guilty of making child porn.

Bill White said...

This beautiful woman is welcome my house for prayer and pie.
So she doesn't embrace the gay agenda and look what the MSM is doing to her. This is typical. Look at what they did to Anita Bryant. Look at what they did to beautiful Sarah Palin. Now look at how the MSM and Hollyweird are treating this work of nature (down boy! down boy!--excuse me, lust in the pants again).
I do hope FOX News considers her for a new talk show -- maybe after Huckabee? If not FOX, then maybe the California governor's mansion?

Mack said...

I'm pretty positive that Dolores makes Bill pray for the pie.

Anonymous said...

Of course she can have her opinion. That's her right. It's also our right to call her on her bullshit. I don't have any sympathy for anyone who puts themselves in the spotlight. If people can't handle the comments, then they shouldn't express their opinions through media outlets.

Anonymous said...

i'm pretty sure Bill "Onanist" White's dog's name is Dolores.

Deacon Blue said...

Those are just topless pics of her out there right now, right?

If so, that's a shame, as when the full nude ones come out, I can countdown to the use of the headline:

"Carrie Prejean Becomes Carrie Postjeans"

"I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be," she said. "But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks." - Carrie Prejean
