Jenny McCarthy gets a talk show (and the antivax movement)

First topic for the new show.

I used to like Oprah. I used to think Jenny was hot and funny. I have a babes of Baywatch Playboy with her in it. I liked her on Singled Out. I thought she would make a good sitcom star. But this autism nuttery has completely turned me off.

I bet there are some porn sites that would love to buy advertising space on her web site as well…

Her first episode is debunking a “cure” for autism because it has no scientific efficacy?

That’s ingeniously stupid.

Stupid, of course, because she’s debunking it using the very thing she refuses to acknowledge as legitimate - scientific testing. Ingenious because this may be an attempt to give her credibility - it makes her look like she’s not anti-science in general, and doesn’t believe every miracle cure that comes along, and acknowledging that may give her credibility with the audience.

That was my suggestion for her first topic. I don’t what she’s really gonna do. She would never do it. But she present as a real treatment for autism because she’s an idiot.

WTF?

No, seriously WTF?

So it’s not okay to get your kid vaccinated against measles, but it is okay to give them MULTIPLE HIGH DOSES of a drug used to CHEMICALLY CASTRATE SEX OFFENDERS?

This is what passes for good parenting these days?

I want to hit something very, very hard.

No, no, it works, it REALLY works ! But only if it is the parents who take the drug.

I’ve taken Lupron for fertility issues. It sucks. I had bad headaches as a result. Fuck the Geiers and their expensive, dangerous quackery. They should be arrested for pedaling modern day snake oil.

You don’t understand - the measles vaccine has TOXINS in it! Like ANTIFREEZE and ABORTED HUMAN BABIES and DIOXIN and USED MOTOR OIL FROM OLD CHEVY NOVAS!

Lupron is…well…it’s different when it’s a force used for GOOD, sort of like when Jenny gets her Botox shots or bleaches her hair.

Chiming in with props to the OP. Kids aren’t in the immediate future for me but they’re in the longterm plan, and the idea that the greedy, the gullible and the stupid in the anti-vaccine community could put their health at risk is infuriating.

Maybe breast implants cause stupidity.

Say it ain’t so! That would be a worse tragedy than vaccinations causing autism.

Actually, I think it more likely that stupidity causes breast implants.

Paging Dr. Freud…

You don’t even WANT to know what they do with stuff from Pintos.

I think you might be onto something there. I need a large federal grant for research purposes.

Hmm… not sure how that would work, but I’m willing to volunteer. Oh, never mind. I don’t think I want to give an IQ test to every woman who requests breast implants.

Surely there must be some breast variables that need measurement. Like, say, perkiness! Yes, perhaps perky breasts have a correspondence to perky women! Even better, slutty women!

Maybe the real goal is to stop autism by keeping autistic kids from breeding.

Indeed, no one gets laid more than autistics.

It is unusual. Usually the SECRET CURE stuff comes from some moss that grows only in the dark anal caverns of a certain subspecies of the californian hippy.

Inspired by a thread on this very message board a year or so ago, I did a research paper on the vaccine-autism (non)link and the sort of people who pass this info on.

Jenny McCarthy makes me sad. And by sad I mean stabby.

In case nobody has posted it in this thread yet, I give you whale.to

Sigh.

Is that site meant to be parody, or real?
Seriously, I can’t tell. I’m guessing real (as in real whacked) but some of quotes look like jokes.

Its real. It was the almighty godsend website of the vaccine nutters and may still be. The owner of whale.to used to post to USENET and was regularly pounded by a crowd of doctors and biologists (among them PZ Meyers).
