Yesterday at lunch, we were discussing 7th Heaven. Making fun of 7th Heaven is like making fun of the mentally handicapped: it's just so easy that it's not fair. I always found it funny how a self-billed wholesome show promoted such crappy lifestyles. Rather than addressing the issue of premarital sex, they married all of their kids off by the time they reached puberty. Rather than addressing the issue of birth control, the parents proceeded to have seven of the brattiest kids in an age when we need to start worrying about population control.
Someone referenced Jessica Biel as being the "hot" one on the show. Since Biel went to Simsbury public schools for a short period of time, I declared myself the expert and stated, though she is typically attractive, she is not, in fact, "hot," but perhaps slutty.
Today, I discovered that Esquire has named Biel the sexiest woman alive. I suppose this choice goes to show how out of touch I am with the rest of society. Apparently, if you're on television and willing to pose in your underwear on the covers of Maxim and Stuff, you earn the distinction of sexy -- supposing you're willing to pose again for Esquire. And look, it's all part of the "Women We Love" issue, which makes sense, since I couldn't imagine loving a woman for anything but her sex appeal. Certainly acting talent had nothing to do with the decision.
Our media is pretty screwed up. To garner attention, Biel has to either be entirely chaste or a whore. She's chosen the path of objectification. If only her reverend parent could see her now. Oh well, at least he's got half a dozen more to work with.
