So is nobody going to explain the Lady Possible?

Apparently not.

I guess he means vagina. At least, that's what I'm going call from now.

I love it. I will use it forever.

I guess adults just saying "vagina" is out of the question. LOL

it just makes me think of kim possible.

and lady gaga, since she's supposedly a hermaphrodite.

I would think that the Lady Possible would refer to her "Dolores" (please.... google the Seinfeld reference if you must), not her vagina.

Yeah . . .
I find that hard to believe as well.

I agree. However, I think most people know that making such videos is hardly an uncommon practice. They are just blowing it out of proportion in an effort to get "revenge" because she dared express an opinion that ruffled some feathers.

Perez Hilton and all these other people need to get over it. She was asked her opinion. she gave it. Ironic that people are saying she is intolerant, but yet they are doing the very thing they accuse her of doing. Maybe some of these people should try leading by example. If you want her to show tolerance for your homosexual lifestyle, show tolerance for her viewpoints as well.

I agree that that is what has fueled the rampage, but I don't think that's the complaint most people have against her. Her attitude about the situation is deplorable. It's society's fault, her ex boyfriend's fault, the media's fault...but never hers. As I've said is it really that big of a deal that she made videos or pictures for her boyfriend? Not really. I've personally never made a video and couldn't see myself doing so but that doesn't mean I never took pictures that I'd be embarassed for the world to see, and that's the same concept. A lot of people have done that, especially while young. But instead of saying look, guys, I made a mistake when I was young and thought I was in love but I've learned from it and I hope everyone will judge me by who I am now...she's kept a self righteous sneer on her face, judging others left and right. That's a great way to make yourself a target, and that is what bothers me personally, not that she voiced her opinion. I personally recognize that though I don't agree with it, she of course has a right to express it as long as it is not malicious towards others, and I don't think she worded it in that manner.

Sure, opinions are opinions. However, our opinions aren't welcome everywhere. There are various contexts where certain opinions will be received negatively and will potentially lead to differential treatment. A pageant is one of those places and the contestants KNOW that. While her opinion would've been celebrated in previous years or in less mainstream (less liberal) pageants, it's simply the case that conservativism was not accepted in that particular pageant (Paris Hilton's pressence was a hint); and answering the question the way she chose to answer it sounded like it was more anti-gay marriage. She didn't have to go to the other side of saying she was pro-gay marriage but her stint about state rights could've stayed away from HER personal opinion completely. I answer questions without letting the asker know MY personal opinion everyday when I know MY personal opinion is an unnecessary sidebar.

But, we've discussed all of this before on GC.

Her sex tape is receiving attention because "celeb" sex tapes always receive some attention. Mix that with her attempt to portray herself as a moral conservative who is championing the rights of moral America and you have the formula for an "oh, bitch, we caught you being a hypocrite" moment.

The only reason she's being continually mocked and called a hypocrite is because of her campaigning for sexual morality and her efforts to almost paint herself as a spokesperson for the cause. People in glass houses should not throw rocks!

many people (myself included until recently) don't realize that being open minded means also being open minded to people they feel are close minded. ;)

Amen.

Everyone is close minded. People just have different tolerance levels and triggers.

Once people stop touting themselves and others as truly open minded, they will get over the fact that differences aren't always smooth sailing.

Honestly, I couldn't have given a good goddamn about her moral beliefs, such as they were (although Perez Hlton deserved every spitball lobbed his way for calling her a cunt on the Internet). What chapped my ass was the hysterical Nellie Oleson–style mentality she embraced after others had the temerity to criticize her for expressing said beliefs—"WAAH, the librul meanies are impinging on my free speech." Nobody was doing any such thing, sugar plum. Free speech is a two-way street—just as one has a right to express it, so do others have the right to criticize it in kind.

If you have somewhat controversial political beliefs, the gold standard of how to express them is Erika Harold, Miss America 2003. A proud Republican who was active in her party, she ran on a platform of abstinence-only sex education. Now, aside from some very minor kerfuffle over her socio-political stands, she handled herself with grace, poise, elegance, and intelligence (she is a Harvard grad), and she proved to be a well-respected queen during her reign.
