Electra would be proud

No matter how many times we're grossed out by this, they keep putting it in the news.

No sex please, we're daddy's little girls

WASHINGTON (AFP) - It has all the ingredients of a wedding. The proud tuxedo-clad father, the frosted white cake, the limousines and an exchange of vows.

But there is no groom and the girl in the long gown is no bride. She's daddy's little girl, there to take a vow of chastity.

In what is becoming a trend among conservative Christians in the United States, girls as young as nine are pledging to their fathers to remain virgins until they wed, in elaborate ceremonies dubbed "Purity Balls."

A very special day!

So many kinds of EWWWW.

And what happens to the Daddy's Little Virgins who don't end up as special prizes for suicide bombers?

One study conducted by researchers at the universities of Columbia and Yale found that 88 percent of pledgers wind up having sex before marriage.

"Unfortunately these young people tend, once they start to have sex, to have more partners in a shorter period of time and to use contraception much less than their non-pledging peers...."

There you have it: Science proves, Purity Balls lead directly to Britney Spears!!!

I don't remember if Thora got it on with the guy with the video camera or not. I have the original script if I ever feel like taking a look at it. Might have been cut out of the movie.

But it was Mena who was the "sex" object...which is creepy enough.

'Tis been a loooooong time since I saw that movie. I just remember Mena because they had her in a somewhat similar role (pan-sexual object of desire) in Six Feet Under.

Ha! I'm reading IMDB on Thora's mom--she quit doing pr0n to raise her kids. That must have made for some "interesting" PTA meetings: "Hey, don't I recognize you from somewhere? Oh. Nevermind...."

At least she's not a teacher, and therefore fired once someone recognizes her! :/
