Bay of Fundie

Chronic fundie doofus Bill Johnson was on CNN last Friday talking about under-dressed mannequins. You can see the video here (You’ll have to watch a 15-second commercial first.).

BJ matches wits (if it can even be considered a match) with Debbie Wolf. CNN says she’s with “Americans Against Censorship”. No such group exists. That’s one fact CNN got wrong. She’s really with People Against Censorship, which is a new organization.

Overall, the CNN report is biased. Apparently this is some sort of magazine program, where the hosts are allowed to express an opinion. The host, Mike Galanos, is clearly in BJ’s corner. In fact, he’s almost as extreme as BJ.

Another problem with the report is that during much of the time that they are talking about scantily-clad mannequins in store windows, the video that they run is of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which depicts actual models wearing only bras and panties. Showing the video of the fashion show unfairly biases the viewer.

If Victoria’s Secret had real models in the windows, BJ would have a point, but there’s a fundamental difference between a plastic dummy and a flesh-and-blood woman. Here’s an actual quote from BJ on the CNN interview:

There are guys who are getting set off by this stuff!

That tells us more about BJ than we really care to know.
