printSean Hannity once touted the one-time porn star, and all-round vulgarian Kim Kardashian as a role model for young girls because she does not imbibe. For the sake of good taste I will not post a hyperlink to Kim’s on-camera, narcissistic, bottoms-up gymnastics with a former boyfriend. But I hope Hannity’s daughter, if he has one, does not take her dad’s moral guidelines seriously. (More HERE about other Fox News porn pinups.)
Budding slut Montana Fishburne, on the other hand, needs no fatherly encouragement to pursue porn.
“According to TMZ.com, the 19-year-old daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne recently posed for a test photo shoot for Playboy magazine.”
“Fishburne’s idol, Kim Kardashian, also posed for Playboy before her sex tape went public and made her a household name. Fishburne has said that she was inspired to get into the porn industry because Kardashian found mainstream success after starting out as a sex tape star.”
“‘I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became, and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape,’ Montana said in a statement through Vivid Entertainment, which is releasing her first porn film. ‘I’m hoping the same magic will work for me. I’m impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities, and this seemed like a great way to get started on it.'”

Unlike the celebrity dad just mentioned, Montana Fishburne’s famous father has responded appropriately.
“As Fishburne’s career heats up, her relationship with her dad has grown cold. She claims her dad refuses to talk to her.”
According to TMZ, the two spoke Aug. 16, and Laurence Fishburne told his daughter, “I’m not going to speak with you till you turn your life around.”
“You embarrassed me,” he said. “You used your last name. No one uses their real name in porn.”
Who knows what the Kardashian sisters’ famous father might have thought of their antics: he died in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kardashian He was best known for being a lawyer to, and friend of, O.J. Simpson.
Regardless, Sean Hannity should stop singing the praises of porn star Kim. And Laurence Fishburne is correct to upbraid his daughter.
“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became” – provides an interesting definition of “success”. Once upon a time, America could measure success by being a skilled craftsman, running a profitable farm, creating a business, writing books, publishing research, manufacturing a product, or playing a concerto. Now SUCCESS is getting your name splattered on some global equivalent of the bathroom wall. I guess if you have a name and a body and no discernable talent, you can be a success.
Fishburne is more concerned about his embarrassment than over the fact that the daughter to whom he imparted (or, more likely, failed to impart) moral values has none. Events such as these make me appreciate the steadying value of a religious community in our culture of Global Garbage – at least for an atheistic scientist dad trying to raise a teenager by himself.
I couldn’t post on the ebonics post, but I think I have the perfect ebonics expert:

[I’ve opened the Ebonics post again. I love this.]
Check out Kardashian’s reaction to the verdict in the O.J. Simpson trial. I don’t think he ever even entertained the possibility that his man might be found not guilty.
Hannity is a sort of goof but his political instincts are usually pretty good. As far as his infatuation with rock bands and various trollops of the month are concerned I put it to being a New Yorker and being on the edge of sho-biz notoriety. As I’ve said many times before, nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
I never watch these “reality” television shows. The few times I’ve seen them, they have struck me as quite silly. I was not aware that “success” was defined as having or being in one of them.
Fox News has always been sensationalistic. There is all kinds of celebrity gossip on the Fox News website. I think the reason for this is Murdoch himself built his business empire on tabloids (nearly all Australian and UK papers are tabloids) and, therefor, he knows this kind of sensationalism and celebrity gossip really does sell.
Fox News, however, is not as conservative as liberals claim. After all, they do have the uber-liberal Geraldo Rivera and Sheppard Smith seems rather liberal as well.
Van Wijk, my thoughts _exactly_! I remember the very day of the O. J. verdict, and Kardashian’s expression. Ultimately, though, Kardashian will probably be remembered as the father of slutty daughters.
There no longer seems to be a sense of shame, except of course, that which is directed towards those who think there should be.
I hate to sound paranoid or conspiracy-minded but I am thoroughly convinced that one of the goals of the entertainment industry is the normalization of pornography. That is to say, they want to move society to the point that we see little difference between people who have sex on film and any other form of entertainment.
