Jenny McCarthy: Indigo Mom.
Jenny McCarthy was on Jay Leno's show tonight and she was wearing a shirt that read "Indigomoms.com." I wondered if it meant what I thought it meant, so I just stopped by her website. Yep! She's into the indigo nonsense. Her site says that her 3 year old is a crystal child. It also says that, "Most children today are Indigos." So if everyone is above average, then no one is.

The site also says that crystals are the children of the indigos. So I suppose McCarthy sees herself as an indigo if her son is a crystal. If being an indigo results in C-list celebrity status, then what are the A-list celebs? Super-indigos?

Well, this is what happens when hippies discover the internet.
Hopefully, Jenny's indigo "movement" will follow the same path as her career, and will be circling the drain shortly. So what was she on Leno for, Steve? Has somebody actually hired her again after the mess that was "Dirty Love"?: http://imdb.com/title/tt0327643/ |

I see Jenny is going to be on the Howard Stern show this Tuesday, and will presumably be talking about this. That should be one worth tuning in for.
I know a woman who's convinced her son is an Indigo, because "a guy in town who can see auras" told her so. What her son actually is, is an obnoxious brat (and not the misunderstood-because-he's-too-smart type, but the just-plain-bratty type). I can't decide whether her belief in his Indigo-ness is an attempt at rationalizing his brattiness, or distracting herself from it. |

She has "pretty girl syndrome". No mater how stupid she acts, she'll be surrounded by guys who will hang on her every word, and tell her how brilliant and smart she is. Of course, they just want to get in her pants, but she buys the BS.
BTW, why can't we wrtite out b******t here but on the front page the Penn & Teller series appears uncensored? |

My mom gave me Jenny McCarthy's pregnancy book, Belly Laughs, when I was pregnant. It was okay, but there was a part where I was horrified - she and her husband were driving to a friend's house up a long driveway when she was 8 months or so pregnant and she told him to hurry because she really, really had to pee, so he slowed down and insisted on explaining some building on the grounds to her (slowly). She finally climbed out of the slowly moving car and peed on the side of the driveway.
Thank goodness she divorced him. What a cruel sonofab***h. Who does something mean and petty like that? |

Isn't Jenny McCarthy some slutty trashbag ho? I remember seeing pictures of her and thinking that she'd be a runner-up to Courtney Love in that category.
And what's an indigo child anyway? I am vaguely reminded of that Indigo Prophecy game. It sucked. Holy ****, I think I'll die of the buzzword overload. Let's see... angel, biofeedback, vibrational energy (bonus points for sticking them together), mind-body wellness, harmony, quantum, radiance... ... This is a parody, right? |

I wonder if these people are in fact just trapped in a giant game of Paranoia. Somebody should inform Friend Computer.

By the way, given the predilection for the foolish to fall into this, I predict in 10 years a study that demonstrates the Indigo children are actually below average.

Amusingly enough, there's an "article" that turns out to be the microwaved water/plant experiment, commented on elsewhere in these forums. The pictures ended up being retouched in Photoshop.

GASP! I'm sorry you didn't like it. I thought it was brilliant, and the QTE (Quick Timed Event) system was spot-on. A great story, too. True, it took me about a half-hour learning curve, and I TOTALLY didn't see the bloody shirt he was wearing on the floor (then again, I failed the clairvoyance QTE) when you have to hide the evidence after the opening scene. I emphatically implore you to give it another go, it's the closest idea to an interactive film that I've seen. After a second go you still don't like it, can't blame you, but I do feel it's worthy of a second go, like "Beyond Good and Evil." I'd LOVE to see a sequel to that! Here's Wikipedia's entry on it, originally titled "Fahrenheit": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_Prophecy |

[rpg mode on]
Mark A. Siefert, please report to the nearest execution booth for being found guilty of having impersonated your friend the Computer as part of a communist ploy to take over the Alpha Complex. Your next clone will also be deranked to red and are to report to the reactor deck for it's future carreer in reactor shielding. HopperUK, please report to the nearest execution booth for being found guilty of being part of a communist ploy to take over the Alpha Complex by uttering disapointment in the wisdom of your Friend the Computer assigning you your current rank. Your next clone are also deranked to Red and are to report to the reactor deck for it's future carreer in reactor shielding. [/rpg mode off] Seriously, this indigo child thingy is merely an excuse for certain parents to own up to their responsibility and actually RAISE their kids. |
