It's not the commercial was softcore porn. She is an actress, needed some cash, and did a commercial for Ted Cruz...

If you were the candidate and were not running on those values, it wouldn't be a problem.

doesn't make her a pariah or require people who disapprove of those movies to disassociate from her. Cruz was an ass and an idiot to pull the commercial, but I imagine that's the kind of priggish and sanctimonious behavior his followers respond to.

As for her resume, I'd say a Cruz commercial is more embarrassing than anything else on her IMDB page...

while walking through the "set" of a porn film (actually just a regular house) Peter Griffin remarks "Hey, this place looks familiar". Oops.

And she is self-described as a "Christian conservative". Maybe I need to go to church more.

soft core

and

porn

I always thought that People magazine was soft core porn, and so was the average movie. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Consider, for example "Joe Somebody" There just happens to be a scene in that movie with Julie Bowen walking around her apartment in her underwear. Or consider Trading Places and True Lies. Should we call Jamie Lee Curtis a "soft porn actress"? I mean she was both topless and wearing a mini skirt and heels in Trading Places.

So I will answer it. "Soft core" porn is the type you might see on some "racy blue Friday" cable channels after midnight. It features topless shots, bum shots, fake sex scenes, and brief frontal nudity, but no genitalia, no close up of penetration, in fact, no penetration depicted at all, no erect penis shots, no actual blow jobs.

In other words, porn without the (real) sex. Same lame sex-based plot lines; female cop moonlighting as hooker to make extra money/find out who really killed her partner, that kind of thing. Surprisingly big market for this kind of dreck, considering the easy availability of much more graphic "hard core" porn.

I believe it had its hayday in the era of cable tv looking too get a little (but not TOO) racy later in the evening.

This episode has probably been very good for her career. I never would have know about her otherwise. How long before they produce a hard core flick with her doing the Presidential candidate, who just happens to look like Theodore. Actually, the script is already written. Nice innocent church girl goes to a casting call for an innocent campaign ad, and then "things happen".

Listen carefully, folks. Ted is really Agador, and he just moved out the furniture and hung the cross in Robin William's house. Come out of the closet, Teddy.

From The Birdcage:

Agador: Senator, another shot for you?
Senator Kevin Keeley: I don't really drink...
Agador: Yeah, but now's the time to pretend!

Then Cruz should take Limbaugh off the air

Limbaugh uses such a mental language the context that does get politically pornographic.

What is a feminazi, a word coined by the icon of the hate radio political right, Limbaugh created the feminnazi with his dream of attraction in relentless periodic passionate tones broadcasting for decades.

Limbaugh should have been pulled a long time ago.
