from Vanessa to Vanessa
This week Hilary Duff came out with her newest music video. In it she tries desperatly to dump her goodie goodie image left over from her roll as Lizzy McGuire. The daily telegraph reports the video …..
- features her caressing herself, a man’s leg and a lawn statue while wearing a plethora of low-cut dresses - and bondage gear while blind folded at one point.
In response, evangelical christian and family values organizations said about the video
- …
The days where even a passing mention of somethign naughty could bring down the rightious rath of the christian right are long since past. Long term readers where who have seen me sprouting off about the 7080 year loop are already aware of this. We are in a generation of sexual burnout where rampit protests againt sexuality no longer make splash headlines.
Recently I have been putting together a history of ‘oops they found naked pics of me’ scandles and the public reaction. This hillary duff thing isnt exactly one of those, but its a good a time as any to go over how things have changed over the past 20 years
Vanessa Williams : September 1984
Oh crap did shit ever hit the fan on this one. It was supose to be all historic and stuff being the first black Miss America. But then old raunchy photos from her past turned up. Corporate sponcers threated to pull advertising from the next years padgent unless somethign was done. Williams quickly got tossed out on her ear.
Madonna : July 1985
Old photos from years ago turn up. But the public already knew she was kind of a slut. Once again corperate sponcers threatend to yank away advertising dollars, but madonna went on the atack, even going so far as to joke about the whole incident at her next concert appearence.
Vanna White : 1987
Such a fall from grace. The squeeky clean public image got tarnished when old photos surfaced. The public was outraged but there were no calls for her to be fired from the show.
Rob Lowe :1988
Hopping from photos to video. There was a lot of crude humor and jokes flying around. Certinaly embarasing but there wasent that much fallout from the event despite one of the people in the video being underage.
tonya harding : September 1994
Yeah yeah. Shes white trash anyway so like who didnt see that one comming?
Pamela Anderson : 1998
Hubba hubba! Far from being a source of contrversy, this video was welcomed with open arms by the public (well one arm at least, the other hand was busy) Far from hurting her carrer, it actualy helped.
Laura Schlessinger: 1998
Not much contrversy over the photos. Just some pointing of fingers and acuzations of hyprocacy.
Jessica Biel : 2000
In a last ditch effort to escape her contract, she decided to pull the old trick of ‘lets do something to piss off the christian right and they will demand I be fired’. There was no demand she be fired. She wasent fired. Despite the fact she was underage at the time the pics were taken
Paris Hilton : 2004
At this point there is no contreversy over the pics at all. Rather there is contreversy that we all just wish the ditzy skank woudl shut up and go away.
Vanessa Anne Hudgens : 2007
Nude pics turn up. Diseny dosent fire her. Wholsome family values disney. Not only do they not fire here, they dont even realy condone the act. Their atatude was perty much ‘Oh well, we all do stupid thigns’.
