How did Jenny McCarthy get from a goofy MTV game show hostess to a member of the View? Furthermore, why are people taking her personal views on things like autism so seriously?

Ugh, I wish I hadn’t scrolled through the pregnancy portraits… and what’s with the gun-toting daddies? Scary on many levels.

The very idea that Jenny McCarthy is being given a nationally televised platform to spew her anti-vaccine/anti-autism garbage is not only frightening its dangerous. The autism community is already up in arms over her being give this position, we need more people to get angry & let ABC we won’t stand for some stupid Playboy Bunny spewing dangerous drivel on the airwaves that’s not based in any kind of fact, just delusion.

Ummmmmm. Those pregnancy portraits – yikes! The one with the kids gathered around like suckling pigs? The dad with the F U fingers? And the guns…
I don’t get what would possess people to think of (and then execute!) stuff like this.

Oh, and YOU GO, Genie Lauren. This (almost) cancels out those pregnancy shots and makes me feel better about my country. 🙂

There are no words for those pregnancy photos. I found myself pitying many unborn babies . . . At least the PBS trailers cheered me up.
