Well, here is the link to the Candie's foundation for abstinence. http://www.candiesfoundation.org/tshirts.html Their slogan: I AM SEXY ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU WAITING (worn on a tight tank-T by young girl). WTF!!!!! Are they kidding? What kind of message is that for teenager girls? How about teaching them that they are more than sex objects or that there is more than being sexy. Would the religious right have their teenage daughters wearing this t-shirt? What's the message---that teens should be sexy, but just be a tease? Why isn't Bristol wearing the t-shirt that has the slogan for the campaign she is promoting? Some have said that this ad is for Candie’s perfume and NOT the foundation.

Has Sarah ever seen these ads from Candie's? Was she even aware that they are known for sexually charged ads that are targeted to teens? Does she know that is why they created this foundation---because they were getting flack about their ads marketing to teens? Does Palin's religious right base know that this is the kind of Company that Bristol is representing? What is she thinking? Then again, we know she doesn't think. Palin’s “family values”…..

Pluezzes. Bristol is NOT role model for my teen daughters. Palin's family is NOT LIKE mine. Palin had an affair. McCain had an affair. Craig gets caught playing footisie ball in the mens room. WHY CAN'T WE WALK THE WALK WE TALK? Is that asking too much? If you preach morality, live it. Don't expect others to not be watching you pretty darn closely.

While admirable on the surface (and I DO want to give Bristol the benefit of the doubt but it's really, really hard when anyone named Palin is involved!), the connection with Candies with their semi-pornographic ads is quite a stunning contradiction. More importantly, since Bristol apparently didn't learn any lessons from her own mother's experience (the *wedding--->Track's arrival* timeline, anyone???), why should teenagers who don't even know the family be swayed by Bristol's story? Since abstinence has seemingly failed TWO generations of the Palins, perhaps they should consider more 'realistic' options.

I mean, he did not even twitch his nose when Bristols hair was in his face! He also did not wince or stir when she shifted him... Curious, how the Palin babies always seem to be such completely solid sleepers (remember Trig on the campaign trail? He was also completely out during the tumultuous rallies and the convention...) Thoughts of 'drugging' come to my mind... Maybe something that Child Protective Services should look into! Has anyone asked themseves why Tripp was so COMPLETELY out?

On the basis of that performance, he comes across as being slightly less threatening than a gaily-decorated picnic-basket.
