Jenny McCarthy is a scary, scary lady. She
isn't your typical scary gal (unusual facial features, unapproachable attitude,
larger-than-desired size, etc.) She is a new breed of scary lady: a doofus-lady
with a huge social platform.
No- her aesthetics don't bother me all that
much, rather the massive platform she has to toss her indecencies to the people
of America like shitty candy at a daft parade.
Before I start my rant on her most recent
antics, I’ll provide a little history on Ms. McCarthy:
Jenny McCarthy began her career most notably
as Playboy Magazine's Playmate of the year in '93. She then moved on to work as
a video jockey for MTV in ’94. This opened the doors for her to work many other
careers in media including the host of dating show Singled Out, multiple appearances on WWF, and most recently one of
the hosts of the popular talk show The
View.
First and foremost- how is this woman even
slightly qualified to discuss social issues on national television? I am by no
means sweeping her accomplishments under the rug OR suggesting her career in
nude modeling makes her unintelligent.
The only reason that seems possibly plausible
for her copious presence on the daytime talk show is her promotion of
anti-vaccination in children and autism activism.
McCarthy has a young son who has been
diagnosed with autism. She has famously claimed that the cause of her son’s
autism is due to vaccinations. McCarthy speculates that mercury in vaccines is
the cause of autism.
McCarthy’s claims seem bogus to me, seeing as
there is much scientific evidence proving so. However, I am in no position to possibly
prove it to be true or false. And I do feel for her…if I had a child with
autism, I would search for answers, too.
But I do think the manner and intensity in
which she provokes these claims is not smart. She is literally directing the
people of America to stop vaccinating their children. Once again, I am no
scientist, but this seems as much of a danger as the possibility of autism.
A woman with that sort of social platform
directing the mothers of the world to stop vaccinating their children is SCARY
AS HELL.

However, this isn’t even the biggest issue I
have with Jenny McCarthy. The biggest idiocrasy about Jenny McCarthy is during
her free time (not hosting a talk show or trash-talking vaccines and doctors)
she promotes the electronic cigarette. Let’s have a look:

Someone who can refer to an e-cig as ‘sexy’
and ‘hot’ seems to be a mastermind at convincing the target audience of the
product. I’m sure every 16-year-old girl who watched that commercial wanted to
run out to Walgreens and purchase an e cig so they could be beautiful and sexy
like Jenny McCarthy.
More importantly, electronic cigarettes are
still questionable. There is no way these things are actually healthy for you.
The FDA has come under fire because as e cig popularity increases, it seems the
addiction for them does as well.

Jenny McCarthy is a new level of hypocrite
that I have yet to witness in my life (hats off to you, McCarthy.)
So- you can imagine my distress on Monday
March 31st, when Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd decided to
suggest Lena Dunham of popular HBO series Girls
gets naked for ratings.
McCarthy and Shepherd appeared on The View topless squawking, “Maybe we’ll
get higher ratings, too.”

Discussing my feelings on Lena Dunham and Girls would be opening up a can of
worms…so I will just say I think the nudity involved on Girls has NOTHING to do with ratings, and all to do with
progressive movement.
The fact that Jenny McCarthy would suggest
otherwise proves that she is a simple-minded fool who would so blindly
discriminate against her own gender. So for whatever reason, we have put this
simple mind on an actual talk show that has actual viewers to make actual
claims.
My response to Jenny McCarthy’s tactless
stunt Monday on The View is that I so
deeply wish she would stick to what she’s good at: Promoting electronic
cigarettes and giving people who like to say 'dumb broad' an easy target.
Honestly, this woman’s existence truly scares me. I
just hope she has enough hours in the day to raise her son, host a talk show,
deny science, sell electronic cigarettes, halt the women’s movement, and keep
up that sugary sweet and sexy appearance.
Godspeed, Jenny.
