The First Amendment sustained another feckless attack from liberals over the weekend when E! News 'World’s Sexiest Woman of 2008' Karolína Kurková exercised her right to free expression by wearing a lovely summer dress with gun prints on the streets of Tribeca in New York City. Liberals say wearing the dress was insensitive in light of the shootings in Boston and Newtown.
What kind of country do we live when we criticize a supermodel for wearing TOO much clothes?
Israeli fashion designer Nili Lotan designed the dress as a protest against the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
"It was against war and not anything to do with the personal use of guns," Lotan told the New York Daily News.
Kurková has been ripped on two fronts in an industry that supposedly champions free expression and cutting edge style: by the designers responsible for drumming up controversy to sell clothes, and by media outlets that depend on hot models dressing provocatively for page views. This an industry, remember, that’s turned a profit off of blackface and has coined the term prostitution chic.
Racism and sex trafficking? All part of the game. Constitutional rights and female empowerment? Sharpen those knives.
