-- Woman says SATC inspired her to have sex at 14 --

ABC News.com is currently highlighting a Sex and the City- inspired story about a woman who says the HBO series inspired her to start having sex when she was 14. Will the networks news shows pick up the story or will it remain an "internet only" feature, not likely to be seen by a broad audience?

The question is worth asking because ABC's Good Morning America was one of the first network morning news shows to salivate over last week's London opening of Sex and the City: The Movie. As CMI reported at the time, GMA's "story" was couched around the premise that the HBO series had benefited the culture, especially when it came to women's views about sex. So, in the interest of responsible, balanced reporting, will GMA report a less positive story about the movie? [more @ ExileStreet]

Oh, puuuuuleeeeeese!

Ten-to-one this woman got caught somewhere along the way and this was the best excuse she could come up with on the spur of the moment. Someone who is so weak-willed as to use this for a defense has no moral convictions in the first place. File this under the topic “God told me to do it”.

[television is just wrong]

I have never seen an episode, and do not plan on ever watching the show.

I read an analysis that said that SATC was a thinly veiled description of the Gay Sex scene.

I have not seen the show, and have no desire too, but the analysis made sense to me.

Ann Coulter has commented that the dialogue is that of gay men, not women at all.

[gracesdad]

Well that settles it. This girl is not at fault in the least for having sex with seven guys in one week or losing her virginity at age 14. Obviously this stuff NEVER happened before SITC..

[Puppage]

and cheating on her boyfriend with up to seven other guys -- in one week.

She's been designated by the Navy as a friendly port.

Will they make a show
where guys sit around talking
about having sex

with pretty young girls
that is really a beard show
for lesbian gals?!

[CoolPapaBoze]

I think she’s right. SATC is a show about gay men, for gay men, written by gay men, with heterosexual women as proxies because nobody would watch a show about gay men running around Manhattan, shopping and being promiscuous.

[absolootezer0]

sounds more like her parent’s fault that the show’s.
why were her parents letting her watch a show called “sex and the city,” on hbo at age 14?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The girl in the story, “Lisa”, acknowledges that it wasn’t the show’s fault.

I grew up watching
Gilligan's Island. My house
is all coconuts . . .

Me either. I don't get the reason why anyone would want to watch it either. I can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker nor would I buy anything that she advertises. Her fragrance smells horrible and I double dog dare any of those sales people to spray me with it.

[Wolfie]

Riiiight. Because no teeny-boppers started bopping before Sex And The City.

[weegee]

Actually doctors, teachers, SEICUS, and Hollywood ARE telling her to have sex and “Just Say YES”...

I have an unhealthy desire for lots and lots of banana creme pies:

I think eating is a sublimation of desires for things I cannot have. < /s >

I was aways more interested in Mary Ann than Ginger.

Oh good grief...do you always let other people do your thinking for you? They apparently have never bothered to watch it. The story is about four women and they discuss their sex lives when they get together, but mainly it is about their individual relationships and/or flings. The only sex scenes are heterosexual.

Yes, there are a two gay men on the show who are friends of the four women, but other than just brief flirtations with other gay men at parties or where the girls are trying to set them up in a few episodes, there is absolutely no reference to sex where they are concerned. They act so sterotypically gay that it is actually mocking the gay lifestyle and is therefore funny.

It is kind of like a soap opera and no worse than...and as funny as...any of the other sitcoms currently on TV. In fact, here is where they left off on the last season (from the website with my added comments)

Carrie had left Petrovsky (a Russian MALE artist) behind in Paris, where Big (Chris Noth, her on-again-off-again MALE lover who I think is HOT) - with the blessings of Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha - tracked her down. Carrie and Big, realizing they're meant to be, returned to New York, ready to start over... again. It was a very romantic scene.

Charlotte (the prude of the group) had become a nice Jewish girl: She'd converted and married her divorce lawyer Harry. And after many thwarted attempts to become parents (including a very emotional miscarriage scene), she and Harry have finally learned they've been approved to adopt a Chinese baby girl.

Samantha (a Public Relations Agent) had faced some hard realities — a battle with breast cancer, and the realization that she loved Smith (her actor/male supermodel "boy-toy").

Miranda (a successful lawyer) had done several things she swore she'd never do: Married Steve (a bartender), had a baby boy (after an episode where she considered abortion but couldn't go through with it) and moved to Brooklyn.

Ummmm...sorry, but I don't see any gay undertones there...veiled or otherwise. If you don't know what you are talking about, it is usually best to just not comment.

[fungoking]

Sounds like Skanks in the City.

[ravingnutter]

You must have missed the last line of my post. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
