Better to Remain Silent and Thought a Fool...

But no good deed goes unpunished, and unfortunately for the actress and recent mother, she made two tactical errors:

1. In an awareness-raising campaign she appears to have launched last week in conjunction with a blogger calling himself “White Mike”, she glued posters on city property championing not the beleaguered land shark — a species well-known to Oklahomans — but the great white, a variety of shark most Oklahomans have cared little about since the Jaws franchise dried up.

2. Though gluing posters on city property constitutes vandalism and can be punishable by prison time under Oklahoma law, the frequent cover model had herself photographed doing it, and the pictures were posted on “White Mike”’s blog.

It’s strange, but for as long as I’ve featured Jessica on this site, I’v rarely heard her speak — at least not in a way that would make me put her in the same mental league as, say, Jessica Simpson — and until now have more or less given her the benefit of the doubt.

But now I can’t wait for someone to talk the two Jessicas into teaming up and doing something like chaining themselves to a tuna boat in protest of all the chickens of the sea that get caught in the nets, if only to confirm the comfortable, age-old stereotype that the prettier one is, the smarter one isn’t.
