The young models smoochin' above (and below) are from Urban Outfitters' new April catalog, and there's no indication whatsoever that either of the ladies is underage. So what's the big damn deal? But don't trying telling that to right-winger group "One Million Moms"!The social conservative group is going after Urban Outfitters with all of its right-wing gusto (link at bottom), urging parents across the country to "trash your teen's new Urban Outfitters catalog today!"
The quasi-boycott movement (amazing how much right-wingers and leftist 20 percenters alike seem to love business boycotts) is also imploring people nationwide to flood Urban Outfitters with angry e-mail complaints.
This deranged right-winger outfit OMM (which previously tried to boycott JCPenney for using a lesbian as a spokesman -- can't have that!) is also asking e-mailers to threaten a boycott of Urban Outfitters and is demanding that Urban Outfitters "apologize."OMM complains that the catalog targets teens and therefore shouldn't use any girlie smoocheroo pics. Hey, if you have a problem with homosexuality and/or with your teen being exposed to the fact that homosexuals kiss each other, that's your prerogative: You're free to prevent your teen from taking or keeping the catalog. But why would you feel the compelling need to impose that outcome and viewpoint on every other parent out there through a boycott?
It's a parent's job to filter the images and speech to which his/her kids are exposed. So do your job, and worry about your own damn kids. And let other parents worry about theirs. Believe it or not, right-wingers and leftists: You really DON'T know what's best for everyone else's kids.

I'm just wondering what they're trying to sell?! haha! Have you ever seen an ad and you can't figure out what the product is that they're highlighting? I guess it's the dresses in this pic, but you can't really see the dresses like that. Good smooch, but it's not selling me on the apparel =)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the little necklaces they have on during the smoocheroo.
ReplyDeleteToooootally missed the necklaces! ahaha! I was obviously sidetracked by the smooch....
ReplyDeleteLooking at the picture more closely just now -- they're not even slipping each other the tongue! Hell, this could just be two good friends or relatives. Maybe they haven't seen each other in years. Or maybe one's about to go overseas for the military. Or maybe one just won the lottery and gave the other $100K. So a little peck on the lips goodbye or for thanks. Hadn't even occurred to me before: But why is everyone so presumptuous that these are a couple of lesbians in the first place?!? Remember when those dudes made a terrible mistake doing that same sort of thing in American Pie 2?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it seems like they could'a put some more oomph into it...I mean, criminy! They're trying to sell some damn dresses here for Pete's sake!
ReplyDeleteBut it gets back to the point that these may not be lesbians. If they aren't, then they'd probably feel that slippin' the ol' tongue would be highly inappropriate.
