Jessica Simpson's video for 'These Boots are Made for Walking' featured on the new Dukes of Hazzard movie being released August 5th 2005 has the Christian group 'The Resistance' calling for a re-shoot. These Boots are Made for Walking' steamy video.

In the steamy video Jessica Simpson dances like a stripper, grinding her butt on old men, and kisses Willie Nelson. At the end of the video she prances around in a bikini while washing the General Lee, just like the recent Paris Hilton Carl's Jr. commercial which received much criticism for being to raunchy. "She should be ashamed of her self" says John Conner, spokesperson for 'The Resistance' and author of 'The Resistance Manifesto.' (TheResistanceManifesto.com)

1. "John Conner" (should be "Connor")??? "The Resistance"?

That HAS to be a joke. Either that, or someone was WAY too impressed with the "Terminator" movies.

5. Well, for a 'Christian' site - they have no problems putting the slutty...

...pictures of Jessica on their home page

8. Illuminati? New World Order? Satanic conspiracy?

Okay, if it's NOT a joke, these people need medication, therapy, straitjackets and some "quiet time" in a nice padded room.

2. Haven't you heard?

Fundie idiots do not have off switches on their TVs, radios and computers. It is a conspiracy by the manufacturers, just another way to discriminate against Christians.

:sarcasm:

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

27. Let's donate our old tv's and radios

with these mystical off switches to fundies and save them and us alot of time.

[DRoseDARs]

3. I have never heard of The Resistance before. Why the fuck should I care?

:shrug:

[reprehensor]

4. They should at least edit out the 'money shot'.

I mean, sudsing up a car?

Come on!

[Blue Gardener]

6. Aren't 90% of videos like this now?

The women dress and dance like strippers and/or hookers in a lot of them. This is nothing new.

[NMMNG]

7. Haven't you heard?

All fundies and rightwingnuts have been strapped in their chairs in front of their televisions with their eyes held open, a-la "Clockwork Orange". They cannot change the channel, turn the tv off or program the v-chip, nor can they use the "clapper". :eyes:

9. After visiting their website

And probably getting flagged by every government agency there is I can honestly say that I'm sure the only people who take these silly white-separatist fucks seriously are themselves.

26. but it is entertaining

The red, white, and blue elephant logo commonly used by the Republican party has had a very disturbing, yet little noticed change made to it from its original design. The logo features three white stars set in a blue background, with the bottom half of the logo red. Many people are familiar with it, and it is a common pin used by Republicans. What many people don’t know, Republicans included, is that the most common design incorporates three upside down pentagrams. The symbol is modeled after the American flag with the stars in white, only on the American flag the stars point up, not down. Older versions of this elephant logo also featured the stars pointing up. It is not known when exactly this upside down version of the pentagram became popular with the logo, but now a large majority feature the upside down Satanic pentagram, and nobody seems to notice, or even care.

10. You guys are forgetting her dad used to be a minister....

before he decided to pseudo-whore (my opinion) his daughters out. This is the Jessica Simpson who got a promise ring from her father, claims to have been a virgin until marriage, etc. etc. I'm fairly certain she started out in Christian music, too.

So the Simpsons have opened themselves up to that amount of grief from wingnut jobs like ths---Jessica was supposed to be the wholesome and sweet alternative to Britney Spears, etc.

And that vid is extremely trashy. I obviously think it should stay as is just to piss these people off, but for just her self-respect I'd think she'd want to clip that shit up. Grinding against old men in Daisy Dukes (that's a new phenomenon, Britney did that as well)? Washing a car? Does EVERY popular female vocalist have to be a sex peddler?

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. No, just the ones whose careers are based on looks and not talent (n/t)

[LynneSin]

12. Thank you for summing up exactly what Jessica (and her sis) Simpson is

I'm not a fan of Brittney Spears but you have to admit that the girl has skills when it comes to singing. But until her TV show, Jessica Simpson was a nobody. You have to get creds to Jessica's dad for his skills in pimping out both of his daughters via cheesy-ass reality TV shows. Ashlee has proven not once but twice that she has no singing skills with the lip-synching/piss poor performances on SNL and at the Orange Bowl. Me suspects that Jessica probably has had more than just her breasts enhanced with it comes to her singing career too

[Shell Beau]

13. You're right, they can turn it off if they don't like it.

But I will say one time I was watching Newlyweds and Jessica made a comment about Britney Spears being too provocative. Well, now she will need to just keep her mouth shut b/c MTV has the tame version of her video. (It was too provocative for MTV? WTF?)

[LynneSin]

14. Seems like the video is straight out of the Madonna playbook

Make it too hot for MTV and it'll sell like hotcakes. Personally, I think the Resistance group is a bunch of crap, but Jessica has a movie to promote and what better way to do it than to have a controverisal video that MTV finds too hot.

[Shell Beau]

16. I agree. But I hope she isn't hypocritical about it.

[StopTheMorans]

15. their wreckless use of the word "slutty" is degrading to women; she is

expressing her sexuality in the way that she chooses, and it's not anyone's right to make a value judgment on that.

[LisaL]

17. If she decides to express whatever it is she wants to express,

and then she puts it out there for everyone to see, then public has a right to decide what they think about it.
After all, the video is out there for public consumption, and public has a right to decide if it's slutty or not slutty. I haven't seen it, but it sure sounds slutty from the description.

[StopTheMorans]

19. "slutty" is a term with misogynistic connotations. you can bet that,

if this were a man, everyone would think he was a "pimp" and would be talking about how cool he was.

[Shell Beau]

20. People have a hard time seeing her this way

because of things she has said in the past.

[LisaL]

22. If a man was grinding his butt on old men, or old women, for that

matter, I kind of doubt many people would think it was cool.

[LynneSin]

24. If she's dry humping a car in a bikini and rubbing her silicone breats..

...up against it

You may not like the term slutty but that pretty much is a good description of it.

Jessica's Dad (an ordained christian pastor) is the brains behind the Jessica & Ashlee empire. He has no problem pimping out his daughters in order to make money off of them. I'm sure he approved of that video because a racy video that is even too sexually explicit for MTV standards will be a major asset for Jessica's upcoming movie "Dukes of Hazards"

[Shell Beau]

30. I have to say that I believe her breasts are 100% real.

They look real too!

[kick-ass-bob]

18. I WANT YOU!

:rofl:

[DrGonzoLives]

21. Don't these people say

that if you don't like religious displays in public, don't look at them?

Hypocrites.

[texas1928]

23. Did you look at the forums?

This one is rather Tinfoil hat. This guy is nuts.

[derby378]

25. So was this video approved by Papa Simpson?

My guess is a resounding "Hell, yeah."

[Shell Beau]

31. Yeah but isn't that kind of gross that he watches his daughter

do those things. I mean he was a minister. I would think this would kind of piss him off, but now we know that money is more important!!

[LynneSin]

28. There is a JS thread in GD and someone posted the link to the video

[NewJeffCT]

32. well, since the "Resistance" is against it, I will have to watch

Replying now so I can watch it at home later...

[northzax]

29. you know, on the list of things she shoud be ashamed of

I don't think this breaks the top ten...
