COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photos and American Culture. Care to Explain?



Why is this more important to the culture than anything else? She is cute enough but WTF, not as hot as Sonia. Maybe Doug has an explanation. I know Bobalharb does. This is clearly above DR's pay grade but I am sure Teresita has some thoughts. Rufus cannot handle it because she is obviously out of uniform and I cannot picture oak leaves in the right spot anyway. Trish, any help here?

  1. Who is Vanessa Hudgens?

    Looks like just another naked girl, the little christmas lights on the wall, makes it look like a low end whore house.

    Burgundy drapes, couple candles on the dresser, vibrator on the nightstand.

    Lord have Mercy!
    Oh, but for the memories ...

  6. It's modest USA America girls like this that are our first line of defense against falling back to the Puritanism of our English and New Englandish ancestry. God Bless Charles II for reopening the theatres at the Restoration, without which The Bard might have been lost to history. God Bless the bawdy house, and humorous whores. God Bless Nell Gwyn, The Protestant Whore. It's girls like this that fight tooth and nail and hip and thigh and breast against the talibanization of USA America!

    One can learn quickly with a google search who she is. It should be interesting to watch the fallout in my household. I've a year old daughter who, with her mother, loved the High School Musical movies. We've tried to impress on our daughter that anything she send online, ANYTHING, is essentially public. I'm sure this episode will further that lesson to her...though on the otherhand, a tribute to my pal Bobal here...there really is nothing wrong with nuditly and, my, she is a lovely lass :O

  13. Date of Birth
    14 December 1988

    Makes her 18, right?

    There you go, no harm, no foul.

    If you do not want to see naked pictures of yourself, do not pose for them. Maybe that was a movie set. An audition, perhaps?
    Maybe she was just with a friend.
    Maybe she just needs a friend

    welp, I was just putting my daughter to bed and I, internet dweeb dad that I am, gave her the heads up that she might learn that Vanessa's nude pic appeared on the internet and that the rumor is that her boyfriend, and co-star, Zac might be behind it when she said "Do you know why?" My reply, "No" She said, "Well, they broke up in Hawaii".

    IPhoney

    The caption states, “Touching is believing.” Touching is believing what? That that’s $500 and hours of your life spent waiting in line that you’re never going to get back? In Taco Bell currency, that’s nearly enough for 562 hard-shell tacos.

    “You’ve already sold us with the ‘hundreds of tacos are superior to one iPhone’ analysis,” you’re thinking. “But isn’t the iPhone at least the second coolest thing ever, after tacos?” I’m glad you asked. Let’s pretend I’m the typical consumer who needs to buy a phone. It’s nice to have a few extra features, but really the phone functionality is most important when you’re shopping for a phone, right? WRONG! “You’re totally missing the point!” you’re thinking. “I mean, it lets me take 2-megapixel images, surf the web, listen to mp3s and watch videos, ALL IN ONE DEVICE!” Wow, you’re right. Instead of buying an iPhone, why would I want to buy a 5-megapixel Canon camera, a superior Sandisk Sansa mp3 player, get a free phone with solid call quality, use my computer to surf the internet, and still have nearly $300 left over afterward for tacos?

    According to CNET, “Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn’t always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player.”

    Bottom line: Who cares if it sucks as a phone?! It’s integrated! YAYYY!

  25. Everyone is attributing your quotes to me, Rat. It's flattering but I have no control over it.

    I was just listening to a guy from the Teamsters. The House voted some time ago 413 to 3 to stop this trucking up from Mexico. The Senate is voting 'next week' he said. I'd contact my Senators, but one's hard to find and has better things to do than attend to the Senate. I'll try to contact Crapo(that's Cray-po) though.

  30. iPhone users have been using AirBoxes to access data features while in the middle of a call. Since the AirBox provides a Wi-Fi hotspot, iPhone users can use Google Maps to get directions while traveling, check the status of an important email, or exchange photos, all through Wi-Fi while speaking on a voice call.

    AirBox cellular routers are available for sale now from WAAV.com and select dealers nationwide.
    The AirBox CM3 retails for 499 dollars and the AirBox X2 for 1099 dollars.

    The new iPod Touch was unveiled week as the latest addition to Apple’s now iconic iPod range. It boasts Wi-Fi capabilities and a touch screen.

  48. He's been invited, but never came to play.

    He hardly plays at the BC, of late.
    Though he gets a reader spike when Chinese spies and bombing Iran become the threads, up almost by half, in just a couple of days.

    But the three year trend seems to have bottomed out, just like support for Mr Bush. Interesting correlation.

    ReplyDelete
  49. "Schippers said that as it turned out, his book didn't receive much public criticism from the Clintons because it was as hard on Republicans as it was on Democrats. In "Sellout," he told of GOP senators who refused to allow evidence on the floor, including highly disturbing testimony from Willey and others that formed a pattern of alleged abuse and intimidation of women by the president.

  58. The three year, started after the crash. So much traffic is blew the circuts in the memory. Overloaded the system. Assume it peaked then, but I was not watching, then.

    Now, it's less than it was, but so is the war news. So is support for Mr Bush, he is enjoying an upward spike, much luke the BC.

    A rallying of morale, interest.
    Lurkers returnng.

  59. The picture is blury, and really, you would just assume it was some perv who photoshopped it like the “nude Britney” pics of old (remember when that meant something?). But no, contrary to any common sense, the actress publicly confirmed that it was her, saying “the photo was taken in private, and not wasn’t meant to be shared.”

    No shit, but that was probably the worst PR move she could’ve made.

    Why? Oh I don’t know, maybe because she’s the star of the most family-friendly, record-breaking movie ever, “High School Musical.”

  65. So, veterans who served in Iraq ask the Democratic leaders in Congress: Does MoveOn.org speak for you? Do you agree with MoveOn.org?

    Or do you repudiate this despicable charge?

    MoveOn.org has helped frame the core choice: Whom do we trust to run this war--MoveOn.org and its allies in Congress, or Gen. David Petraeus and his colleagues?

  68. Wretchard's flown the flippin coup, that's for sure. He's a few events away from babbling about leftist cameras or writing in a phonetic alphabet.

    Dymphna has gone big time now and won't return his calls. Glenn Reynolds just lets W goto voicemail. Only Fausta can tolerate Wretchard and his arrogantly self-effacing user icon. How did all this come to pass?

    The redeeming waters of BC were sullied when referee Wretchard dropped trow and shat regulations into the pool.

    The fecal dye was cast and surely and hastily, BC goers evacuated and kept their distance, lest Wretchard flip out again and close comment threads, like an Internet Gloria Arroyo.

    No doubt Vanessa wouldn't be comfortable enough to disrobe with Petit Monsieur Fernandez.

    We have to make the Internet safe for Vanessa and her friends.

  69. How would the Deuce vs Wretchard cage match go?

    Eskrima vs Boxing?

    Family Man vs Bachelor?

    There'd no doubt be taunts about vegemite, barbys and relatives acutely vulnerable to banzai charges.

  70. Or Perhaps we'd see the Pacifist Wretchard, who never met a threat he didn't dismiss and trivialize with academic aplomb, which he did contrary to the mainstream. For as long as he was seen as a weak writer, readership dropped.
