More news from the Stupid Files.

Every time I wake up and read the daily news bites, I find something that I consider, stupid. Some days, however, are more stupid than others. I want to hand out to awards today, one goes to Mike Galanos of CNN's Prime News, Get to the Point, segment. The other goes to a Mr. Bill Johnson and the entire community known as the American Decency Association, another annoying Christian watchdog group that is uncomfortable with anything that might arouse them. Well, Galanos and Johnson both agree with some Indiana mall shoppers, that the displays of lingerie on store manequins at Victoria's Secret, are too racy. Galanos and Johnson also applauded Victoria's Secret, when they broke under pressure from the uptight patrons and changed the manequins outfits. Galanos was bothered by two things, the sexy dress of the manequins and the ten foot picture of a model in lingerie, stating that these things could be viewed by children. He seemed to be truly troubled by this. I often ponder how terrified our society is of plastic crotches, sans vagina or pictures of, allusions to, or anything the shape of, tits, that we have to shield children from it. A creature that was created from coitus and bodily fluids, squeezed out of a vagina and raised feeding off of breasts and parents feel the need to steer them clear of anything that will make them think about sex. That amazes me. It all goes back to the ancient and antiquated belief that we should be overly ashamed of sex. Galanos, I give to you the," I am fearing the day I have to explain sex to my kids award". This award goes to a man who obviously never got comfortable enough with sex and the female body to treat it with the respect and admiration it deserves. I bet he even hides his Playboy magazines like a thirteen year old masturbation junkie, instead of leaving them on the coffee table like a man would. But that award aside, I save my biggest award for Bill Johnson and the ADA (not the American Dental Association). There is a reason why, when traveling through middle America, I don't like to slow down and it is people like this. The original Quakers who landed on our shores with their chastity and small pox, are long dead and good riddance. Yet we still have groups like the ADA, this is their mission statement feel free to look it up yourself "The mission of the American Decency Association is to educate its members and the general public on matters of decency; to initiate, promote, encourage and coordinate activity designed to safeguard and advance public morality consistent with biblical Christianity." Basically this is another group that wants to use their moral compass to guide our lives. He also suggested that Victoria's Secret was pornography. Dude, I know pornography when I see it and that ain't pornography, there wasn't even a midget with a whip in the window, how could that be porno? See, old Billy boy is just another one of the millions of people in this country that are scared of leaving their comfort zones long enough to grow up. He even said, " Pornography is addictive, it's damaging, there are guys that are getting set off by this stuff." This is the mentality that breeds serial killers and rapists. Sure, these problems would still exist if we lived in a less uptight society but I guarantee they wouldn't be as common. Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, look into the childhood of any one of them and I bet dollars to donuts that you find a lot of religiously backed beatings. So to Mr. Bill Johnson goes the "Trying to ruin everyone else"s fun because I am afraid I might get an erection and have to hide in the closet cutting myself", award. Thank you and have a good day.
