Hearst Daughter Joins Christian Campaign to Cover Up Cosmopolitan

An online petition asking Hearst Magazines to cover up Cosmopolitan’s racy cover lines got a surprising new spokeswoman last week: Victoria Hearst, the daughter of former Hearst Corp. chairman Randolph A. Hearst and younger sister of Patty and Anne.

Reached at home in Colorado, Ms. Hearst told Off the Record that the company should “have a moral compass and put it in an opaque bag and make it sold only to adults.”

It’s a proposition that’s unlikely to go over well with her relatives on the corporation’s board. Cosmo’s cover lines, though comically blunt (“Your Orgasm Guaranteed,” “Um, Vagina, Are You Okay Down There?”), help make it the best selling consumer magazine on American newsstands. But Ms. Hearst is accustomed to being a black sheep. While her cousins and nieces appear on magazine mastheads and in society columns, Ms. Hearst used her inheritance to buy a 10,000 sq. foot barn in Ridgway, Colo., where she founded Praise Him Ministries in 2001.

He was a man also of great morality - as his autobiography shows

How nice for him.

Nice as well for his countrymen and to our posterity!

Now in general it is good advice when you are a single man alone with a single woman at her place to “go for it” - but my father told me that if you see - anywhere about her domicile - a copy of COSMO - DOUBLE “go for it”!!!!

Excellent advice, Bluto.

I'll remember it if I ever meet your daughter.

Or your wife.

[allmendream]

I was sure to remember it when I met yours.

Did you not see “single” in there?

Or is any contact between adults without religious sanction so abhorrent to you that you didn't see it amid almost going faint from the vapors?

And when does “go for it” imply sex?

I meant go for a kiss - and see where that leads.

It might well lead to love and marriage.

It sure did for me.

Did you not see “single” in there?

I saw you hyperventilating about "going for it" and "Cosmo", the promiscuous modern woman's go-by.

"Single", "married"....they're all pieces of meat aren't they?

Or is any contact between adults without religious sanction so abhorrent to you that you didn't see it amid almost going faint from the vapors?

All I see in post #10 is a frat boy getting worked up.

And when does “go for it” imply sex?

In the popular vernacular?

It's synonymous.

[allmendream]

Oh, now you are current in the popular vernacular?

OK Church Lady.

Here is what the urban dictionary has to say about “go for it”....

They have it as “ask the girl out”. But note that its meaning may be cryptic.

You saw in it what you wanted to see.

And GOD FORBID a single woman has a single man up at her place and he thinks it might be the time to “go for it” and see about getting a kiss.

I bet you don’t even think a single woman should even have a place of her own - just license for immorality after all!

Honestly! What good ever came from a single woman inviting a single man up to her place?

I mean if they don’t meet at Church and hold hands in the pews - thinking pure thoughts - well they may as well just go straight to the Devil!

[marshmallow]

Blather from a frat boy who gets the hots from seeing "Cosmo" lying around.

[allmendream]

Whatever floats your boat Church Lady.

I guess Ben Franklin was just a “frat boy” as well.

HOW DARE a single man alone with a single woman at her place go for a kiss and see where that may lead!!!!

It might lead to DANCING!!! Oh the travesty! And of course dancing to the DEVIL’S music - Rock and Roll!!!!

Gotta get the censors out on that one as well!

Well aren’t you the proud amoral pervert. And you are so superior and intellegent in your atheist gutter.

[allmendream]

I am not an atheist.
