News
stories like to try and use porn stars to sell their stories. Bill O’Reilly did
this a bunch back around 2000 to 2002, when I used to watch him. Actually, it
was one way yelling [mostly me yelling at him]. Stories about porn stars on
papers. Bree Olson hanging out with Charlie Sheen. Things like that. Why even
mention what she does? Does anyone know what the other ‘goddess’ does? Even remember
her name? But Salaciousness sells so mention that someone is hanging out with a
porn star and it is news. Actually is it is old ‘news’; Charlie Sheen used to
hang out with Ginger Lynn as well so it wasn’t the first time Sheen did this.
Lately, I
have seen news stories about famous couples with open marriages. There was an unconfirmed
uproar that Jada Pinkett and Will Smith have an open marriage. I never saw any
stories that actually confirmed other partners. But that wasn’t the point. Just
the insinuation got tongues wagging. Got me to click on it. But, no substance.
Same has
happened with other stories as well. The cover of Essence magazine for July 2006
reeled me in by saying that the main story was the actress Monique, Oscar
winner, and her husband have an open marriage and she was going to talk about.
In fact, also said it was self-love and open marriage.
Got me.
The self-love
wasn’t masturbation. It was just about pride. There is nothing wrong with that.
But it was salacious way of putting it.
And the
open marriage, not so much. It is the future option to be open. Actually, it is
the ability to have sex with someone else and still be married. Ok. So they are
forgiving. Or they think they will be. But open. No. That is not open. That is
just forgiving, maybe, in the future, if it happens. Maybe. BS.
Same with Bethanny
Frankel and her husband. She has a talk show or something? Anyway, I saw a thing
online that she confessed to an open marriage.
Got me.
Is it open?
No. Each one of them has a celebrity pass or hall pass or whatever you want to
call it. He has one female celebrity. She has one male celebrity. Once again,
this is just forgiveness.
Now, in her defense, Frankel actually
called it what it is. It was another website I won’t mention that tried to make
more of it. But why? It was actually just false.
This was
brought up watching a movie Swinging with the Finkels. I will spoil the movie. But
what the frak? The title does not fit the movie. This is not the first time
Hollywood did or does or will do this, using sex to sell. But Hollywood could
actually have sex in it. They choose not to. Why? Why not just have the sex?
Don’t get
me started about 50 Shades. I am so frakkin mad about that. But that is a rant
that won’t stop. I am so upset with that but that is for another time.
Anyway, I
am sure there are people who are open. They swing. They have times on, times
off. Why is that so taboo? Seriously. People cheat or are monogamous. Some of
actually monogamish too. I am sick of hearing it just doesn’t work. Heck, monogamous
doesn’t always work either. UGH. Now I am ranting and it is not making sense.
In the end,
if you are going to use sex to sell, actually have some sex in the story.
