When I was a kid there was a period when the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were widely-regarded as the sexiest women on the planet. It was something of a fad, and eventually the appeal faded a little. I'm sure the cheerleaders all remained sexy; the media just stopped caring.
When I was in college there was a woman in Texas who apparently tried to have her daughter's chief high school cheerleading rival killed.
Now, Texas cheerleaders are in the news again; this time they're being told to stop being sexy.
I wonder if it's okay to keep trying to kill your rivals, though? Presumably it would be (this is Texas, after all), just so long as you don't shake your ass while you're doing it.
All I can say is that it's a damn good thing people are tackling important issues like this. After all, look at what rump-shaking leads to:
Edwards likened the perceived salaciousness of cheerleading routines to risqué television programs and Internet pornography sites. He also suggested that inappropriate cheerleading routines contribute to a social atmosphere that encourages teen pregnancy, poor scholastic performance, criminality and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Yep, it must be the cheerleaders that cause all these problems. It couldn't be inaccurate and incomplete sex education classes that are designed to placate the sensibilites of people who are offended by things like rump-shaking cheerleaders. After all, what could logic possibly have to do with any of this?
And as for an increase in crime...well, come on. It's cheerleaders we're talking about. Didn't anyone see that movie "Sugar & Spice?" Cheerleaders clearly represent the seedy, violent underbelly of society.
The sad part is that it wasn't even a Republican that introduced this bill...
