One-Time "Nice" Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt Now Playing A Perky Prostitute on TV's Lifetime Network


Jennifer Love Hewitt, the actress who became famous for playing wholesome, sweet, girl-next-door 'Sarah' on the old ABC hit show "Party of Five" couldn't be satisfied playing good girls all her life (much less having anyone dare mistake her for being a 'good girl' in real life), so what better way to get rid of that image than by starring as a whore in a TV series on a network supposedly dedicated to portraying women in a "kinder" and "gentler" light:
Ten years ago, perky actress Jennifer Love Hewitt tried to jump-start a music career with a song titled “Bare Naked.” Now she’s trying that attention-grabbing tactic again with a sleazy new Lifetime series called “The Client List.”  She plays a massage therapist who turns tricks.

That network has adopted a new slogan: “This is not your mother’s Lifetime.” That’s appropriate for a new drama with a single-mother whore at its sympathetic center. We learn she was forced into being a sex worker when her husband mysteriously left her – you know, the way of the world for single moms.
Hewitt first made “The Client List” as a TV-movie in which the sex worker ultimately learned the error of her ways. Not any more. It’s now a weekly series with no storyline of error and redemption in sight.

After tremendous hype, its debut – on Easter Sunday, no less – scored 2.8 million viewers, second only to the 2007 launch of Lifetime's show “Army Wives.”

Slate.com calls it “Ultra-Soft Porn” and on its Facebook page, the show asks women to “rate the clients” to see which john is the most attractive. You can rate them “Dud or Stud” and enter to win a $5,000 prize. Somehow, all of Hewitt’s TV clients could double as models – another dose of non-reality.

Speaking of which, the group Licensed Massage Therapists is very upset at how their profession is being merged with prostitution weekly in the public mind. But Hewitt protests that her show only projects “reality.”

"At the end of the day, it's a television series," she argues. "I'm not saying every massage parlor in the world gives happy endings, nor do I know which ones do, but it is a part of our society. And even if it wasn't, it's just a part of our story. It's entertainment."

When that line of argument collapses, she claims her sex-worker character is just too lovable to protest.

“I tried to make a joke on Twitter that I wondered why people were not writing to ‘Dexter’ about killing people, or to ‘Nurse Jackie’ about taking drugs on the job. Those are big, big television characters audiences love and adore....so if there can be a serial killer we all like, I feel like a happy-endings specialist is the least of our worries.”
Doesn’t that quote sum up just about everything that’s wrong with our popular culture these days? Viewers are expected to adore serial killers, drug-abusing, adulterous nurses, and prostitutes disguised as massage therapists?
But Hewitt isn’t done whining. When she starred on “The Ghost Whisperer” on CBS, "No medium ever complained that I was playing a medium who had too much cleavage. In fact, they were all like, ‘Thank you so much!’ I mean, I constantly had cleavage up to my chin, and not one medium had a problem with it. They were like, ‘People think we're hot!’ Now, if massage therapists could just feel the same.”
Like most people in Hollywood, Hewitt wants to push the envelope in what she calls a “provocative, unapologetic manner” to make her millions. Then she demands that no one ever protest that she’s making prostitution look glamorous and morally acceptable.
Hewitt wants to avoid being “judgmental” about prostitutes. “It's an easy industry to have a judgment on, but I feel like that judgment comes from lack of knowledge and fear and maybe not knowing the whole story.”
So Dr. Hewitt’s offering an educational “whole story” on her program? Even worse, Hewitt wants to declare that prostitution is okay with her. “I respect people doing what they have to do in order to try to live and be happy.” This woman has the brain of a text message. K?
But what if the prostitute is helping wreck a marriage and a home? No problemo. Reviewer Brian Lowry at Variety explains how Hewitt’s character Riley gets softened around the edges. She “spends a lot of time counseling her clients -- providing helpful, homespun marital advice to stroke them emotionally, not just physically.”
Cheat with the husband, then tell him to buy the wife flowers? Love is never having to say you’re faithful.

Liberal Organization ACORN Assists With Prostitution Ring



Some of these folks will soon be coming by your house to do the census, so be wary of who you choose to answer the door:
Two employees at the Baltimore, Maryland, branch of the liberal community organizing group ACORN were caught on tape allegedly offering advice to a pair posing as a pimp and prostitute on setting up a prostitution ring and evading the IRS.

The video footage -- which has been edited and goes to black in some areas -- was recorded and and posted online Thursday by James O'Keefe, a conservative activist. He was joined on the video by another conservative, Hannah Giles, who posed as the prostitute in the filmmakers' undercover sting.

The video shows the pair approaching two women working at the ACORN Baltimore office and asking them for advice on how to set up a prostitution ring involving more than a dozen underage girls from El Salvador.

One of the ACORN workers suggests that Giles refer to herself as a "performing artist" on tax forms and declare some of the girls as dependents to receive child tax credits.

"Stop saying prostitution," the woman, identified by the filmmaker as an ACORN tax expert, tells Giles. The other woman tells them, "You want to keep them clean ... make sure they go to school."

Both women appear enthusiastic to help.

Calls to ACORN's Baltimore offices were not immediately returned Thursday. A local spokeswoman told The Associated Press that both employees seen in the video were fired.

"Sex is considered dancing, right?" LOL!!! And yeah, sadly these are the type of idiots who elected Barry and made him Liar-In-Chief.

San Francisco To Consider Decriminalizing Prostitution


The more and more this city celebrates deviancy the more you wonder when they'll just get on with it and rename itself Sodom and Gommorah:
In this live-and-let-live town, where medical marijuana clubs do business next to grocery stores and an annual fair celebrates sadomasochism, prostitutes could soon walk the streets without fear of arrest.

San Francisco would become the first major U.S. city to decriminalize prostitution if voters next month approve Proposition K — a measure that forbids local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex.

The ballot question technically would not legalize prostitution since state law still prohibits it, but the measure would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes.

Proponents say the measure will free up $11 million the police spend each year arresting prostitutes and allow them to form collectives.

"It will allow workers to organize for our rights and for our safety," said Patricia West, 22, who said she has been selling sex for about a year by placing ads on the Internet. She moved to San Francisco in May from Texas to work on Proposition K.

Even in tolerant San Francisco — where the sadomasochism fair draws thousands of tourists and a pornographic video company is housed in a former armory — the measure faces an uphill battle, with much of the political establishment opposing it.

No matter what idiot liberals say, prostitution is not a victimless crime. It exploits women by treating them as nothing but sexual objects. It caters to pimps who abuse women, drug abuse, kidnapping, human trafficking, low self-esteem, victims of sexual abuse, physical and mental coercion. It also breaks up marriages. The world's oldest profession is never going away, but that doesn't mean it should ever be condoned.

D.C. Madam Found Dead In Apparent Suicide


I normally agree with John Stossel's opinions on societal aspects of culture and politics, but I disagree with his take on prostitution being a "victimless crime". Prostitution not only degrades women, it destroys families, it's immoral, it speaks to the poverty crisis in our country, it lowers self-esteem, it confuses young women's take on power, control and their bodies, it's addictive, it opens the doors to other vices such as drug abuse and drug trafficking and lastly as seen in the case of the DC Madam, it can dehumanize you to the point of depression, or even worse, suicide:

The madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, was recently convicted on federal charges stemming from operating a prostitution service in the Washington, D.C. area with a number of high-profile clients. She was scheduled to be sentenced July 24.

Palfrey told ABC News last year she would never return to prison, after serving time in the 1990s for other prostitution-related charges. "I sure as heck am not going to be going to federal prison for one day, let alone, you know, four to eight years."

Palfrey's 76-year-old mother, Blanche, found her daughter's body in a shed to the side of her home, according to police. Palfrey had hung herself with nylon rope from a beam in the shed's ceiling, the police said.
