Vivid Entertainment, Top Porn Outfit, Makes Play to Release Carrie Prejean Sex Tapes: Plus, Can Former Miss California Still Speak for Conservatives?

At TMZ, "Porn Kings Trying to Release Prejean Sex Tape":

The world's largest porn company has obtained a copy of the Carrie Prejean solo sex tape - and TMZ has learned they're desperately trying to release it.

The porn company -- Vivid Entertainment -- tells us they obtained the tape legally, but they want Carrie to sign off on it personally before it goes wide. Good luck with that...

As TMZ first reported, the solo sex tape was played in front of several people during settlement negotiations between Prejean and the Miss USA Pageant just a few weeks ago. Once Prejean saw the tape, she instantly dropped her $1 million demand.

But check AOSHQ, "Eight Carrie Prejean Self-Satisfaction Tapes?":

Not really "sex" tapes, per se, but you know.

I don't really find this "hypocritical." I have a problem here, but it's not hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy does not mean "Establishing a standard for yourself and then failing to live up to it." There is a different word for that: It's called being a human being. Or at least a human being who does, in fact, attempt to better herself and set goals and maintain a standard of conduct.

Anyone who sets goals for himself will fail. And what is the alternative?

Hypocrisy is, instead, proclaiming a series of values and vindictively using those values to chastise others for failing to live up to them, all the while gleefully violating them yourself.

Has Prejean done this? I don't remember a single statement she made about sexual modesty. The only thing I remember her saying about sex at all wasn't even about sex, per se, but about marriage, and that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

A position shared, the left is never willing to concede, by our president, Captain Wonderful. (At least publicly he proclaims this -- in private, he's probably in favor of gay marriage, which the left takes to be "better," somehow, than actually believing in traditional marriage and saying so like Prejean.)

So I don't mind this stuff, really. I do not believe Christians are somehow magically neutered and lack a sex drive. I do not believe that Christians do not have kinks and enjoy sex and even enjoy somewhat forbidden sex. I also do not believe that most Christians attempt to claim otherwise, or scream when others demonstrate similar desires.

Mostly what I see Christians saying is that the culture and our major institutions ought not to overly-glamorize sex out of the covenant of marriage, and especially should not sexualize children, both of which seem to be pretty innocuous statements and do not in fact include any possibility of "hypocrisy" at all.

And I'd add, Carrie Prejean was so extremely demonized, excoriated, and smeared by the hardline leftist gay marriage ayatollahs that she'd practically have to become a flesh-eating chainsaw murderer before most right-wingers would cut her loose. See my earlier report at Pajamas Media, "Miss California Carrie Prejean’s Odyssey: Not Very Pretty."
