The polite girl always pretends she has no idea what sex is.

Just lay back and think of England, my dear.

That's funny. I've never seen the show in question, but lots and lots of celebs do voices and cameos on PBS. Natalie Portman was a guest on Sesame Street around the time she was playing a stripper on Closer. I'm not going to show my preschooler Closer, but I'm not the least bit concerned that he'll see Natalie on Sesame and make the connection later in life. Oh the mental scaring!

And Fred Rogers emceed burlesque shows while trying to get someone greenlight his original kiddie show.*

*No, that's not true. But would it matter if he did?

I never said it was appropriate Alex.

The world is full of hypocricy. I know this so I'm not surprised by this. That's all I meant.

So, no you did not read me right [again].

But up above you said "however if it was made & released after, then she got what she deserved."

So if she would deserve firing for making these videos after she got the job why is it not appropriate for Alec Baldwin?

Like I said before, it's all about hypocricy.

The world's not fair.

If she didn't have the common sense to know that a video of her on the internet playing with a dildo (no matter how graphic it may or may not have been) that's available for millions of people to view (including children) could have gotten her in trouble since she was trying to get work on a tv show for children then maybe she deserved to lose the job.

If Alex Baldwin had done the same thing, I wouldn't think any different. Again, he's a top celebrity so he can get away with the hypocricy.

It's all hypocricy. I agree that it's not fair but I'm not surprised by the decision

Who said anyone was surprised? I don't have to be surprised to be angry.
