Scarlett Johansson's SodaStream Super Bowl commercial causes trouble with Oxfam

Super Bowl commercials don't usually bring up human rights issues, but Scarlett Johansson has found herself right in the middle of a controversy over a SodaStream commercial planned for the big football event. Oxfam has objected to Johansson endorsing a product manufactured in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

I was curious.

Are Scarlett Johansson's breasts real?

[rlmorel]

She is a physically beautiful woman, but empty upstairs, filled with liberalism.

But I guess I will give her some credit for spending some time with the troops, especially this gallant Marine who seems to be trying as hard as he can not to look down her blouse...

It is too bad. If she had a conservative brain, she would make me weak-kneed, but since her beauty is mostly skin deep, she is attractive to me the way a beautiful object is.

[KC_Lion]

Yes that is Scarlett Johansson.

And as for them being real, Being a Certified Examiner of said Anatomical Parts, I would have to do an in depth Study...

[EEGator]

I know you did not ask me, but:

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Starship Troopers

Some large breasts are real. I had a friend back in the late 60s with a genetic problem ─ her breasts never stopped growing. When a 38 DD became too tight she would have them reduced to a B cup. Several years later she was again a double D. I have a friend today who wears a 38 DD, she actually needs a 36 E but they are hard to find. Even Victoria’s Secret doesn’t carry it.

[R. Scott]

You’d have palpate.

[FrdmLvr]

Who or what is Oxfam?

[RandallFlagg]

SWEET!
I’m on it. Thank you.

[raybbr]

I would bet if you dug deeper you would find Soros behind Oxfam.

[bkopto]

Oxfam is a communist front organization. Johansson is former sqeeze of commie Sean Penn. No winners here.

[globoreally]

I could make a better determination if I could see some pictures of the offender Miss Johansson

[GSWarrior]

The anti soda stream people are stupid jerks, nutcases and jackasses. They stormed a hardware store in San Francisco a few years ago confronting customers and employees alike.

[AD from SpringBay]

Why does anyone pay any attention to what entertainers and athletes do or say?

That is one of THE questions of the age. My guess is that it has something to do with good old fashioned idolatry and a lack of critical thinking skills.

Starship Troopers

[Daveinyork]

Heinlein wrote so many, and I’ve read a bunch, and haven’t even scratched the surface. I’d start with his classic, Stranger in a Strange Land, and then The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. The Number of the Beast was intriguing. many of his later works are sequels to those two. Oh yeah, don’t forget Starship Trooper, both the book and the movie, and Time Enough for Love. Friday was also quite good. Revolt in 2100 and Methuselah’s Children. His mind was quite fertile and sometimes quite warped.

[Popman]

I may be mistaken, but I think Scarlett Johansson is Jewish...or at least from a Jewish background

So she probably doesn't really care what Oxfam thinks...or Yassir Arafat demon children...

[EEGator]

My pleasure. They both won the Hugo Award for Best SciFi novel.

Stranger in a Strange Land is another good one.

[SeminoleCounty]

Oxfam is quite Anti Semitic

[aragorn]

As another who was not asked, I heartily second the two recommendations made by EEGator:

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Starship Troopers

I’ll toss in another one from a different author but similar genre:

Voyage From Yesteryear by James P. Hogan

[coop71]

But men flying around wearing costumes made of metal, throwing cars and displaying impossible feats of strength was a-ok in your book?
