Look, I don't think anyone who has read many of my posts can think I am a prude.
I don't find anything objectionable with porn or erotica. If an 18 + year-old takes money to do porn, and isn't under some duress, then fine great. Drool away. That's what they get poaid for and you pay for. It's a transaction. Guys like naked women. It's natural. Breasts make us happy. And now with the internet a man can be happier in a single day than most men in the past could have been in a lifetime, as more breasts generally means more happy. I know it's sad, but minus a tichy bit of hyperbole it's true. I do apologise ladies.
But subsuming a couple of teenage girls who made kiddies movies into some soft-porn fantasy is icky. They've in no way 'asked' for that. It's like posting a photo of your neighbour's 18 year-old daughter with a comment 'a lot of guys in my road are real pleased she's 18'!! She'd have no more asked for your objectification than the Olsens.
And yeah Elsewhere, much as you might treat it like a joke, you are right, many men do think of it like that. SInce when did that make it right to think?
Laughing about a joke which hinges on some supposed attribute of a skin colour (when you don't really think such a thing, but 'pon my soul 'tis funny) some how makes life for the real bigots easier. Laughing about 18 year-olds becoming instant items on some male 'hit-list'. It makes the life of those that would... with maybe even a slightly younger girl - the "not like it was actually wrong or anything" posse - easier, by the casual acceptence of minors being sexualised.
Of course, they are sexualised; they're adolescents. But let them get on with it with out the leers and winks of men who would pole-axe someone who treated their daughter that way.
Any man who doesn't find peach-bloom skin, pert breasts, lissom curves, an edible ass and all the clear-eyed wonder that is eighteen attractive is probably gay. But looking at the flowers is different from drooling over them. I don't eat 'flowers' anymore, I'm a carnivore...
Oh, save me the they're rich, they're celebrities song-and-dance; their lifestyle doesn't justify an individual's behaviour.
And of course, the fact you wouldn't do it to the face of their father shows just how right it really is.
Now the Raygun spoof news item IS funny, as it isn't revolving around the Olsen's suddenly getting offers from Vivid Video, it's revolving around a parody of a politician. I'd laugh it were about any other American President, mind you, or any British Prime Minister who'd just died. It doesn't give a nudge-nudge-wink-wink about those girls.
