Someone has taken a hacksaw to my edits to this article - someone with very little grammar skill and an obvious affinity based POV for McCarthy. I am re-editing. Pacian 06:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made a change to add some humorous (true!) trivia about a website Jenny maintains. The edits were removed by EngineerScotty, but I think he failed to realize that the hilariously ridiculous assertions were totally true! So I created an account and reinstituted my changes. Knodi

Rolling Stone Cover

Someone wrote,

"For instance in a cover photo for Rolling Stone magazine McCarthy was scantily clad in a bikini, but at the same time was squirting mustard all over a hotdog whilst it splattered unattractively all over her body."

Since someone included the jpeg for this article, I'm wondering if people are paying attention. 1 - She is NOT in a scantily cald bikini...she's wearing a bikini top and shorts. 2 - Mustard is NOT "splattered unattractively all over her body." If anything, the purpose of this cover was to titillate with sexual imagery.

Accordingly, I removed this part of the article. Asc85 17:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the nudity?

Jenny McCarthy is known for many things, one of which is appearing in Playboy, however this encyclopedia is for everyone, not just adults, so therefore I think the naked picture should be removed.

Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of children, but I've reverted to a less explicit photo because the Santa photo is too in-your-face for this article. Anyone who wants to put the Santa photo or another photo with similar exposure will need to get a consensus here first. -- Donald Albury^(Talk) 17:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-wrestling

Why is she categorized as a professional wrestler valet for a one night gig, and why is there a whole section in her bio for it (Furthermore, why is this important)? Irk _(talk) 21:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good question, all it needs is a small mention, not a "section" for itself, besides that whomever put it there didn't even bother make it 100% accurate. EDIT: Whoops, forgot to sign my comment. PHOENIXZERO 09:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good question indeed, and yeah it certainly doesn't need a section for itself. Perhaps it should be moved into the "Other interests" section? Or maybe "Public Persona"? Actually I think the latter should also be merged with "Other Interests" and the whole thing be renamed, though I can't think of an appropriate title at the moment. Any thoughts?

Can We get a better picture up there?

Please!

Picture Description

i think the picture description is a bit wrong, or playboy is a lot tamer than its made out to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.36.83 (talk) 17:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

McCarthy is making a fine idiot of herself claiming not only that Evan’s autism was caused by vaccines, but that autism can be treated with diet and vitamins. Aside from being false and worthy of inclusion in the article, it also begs the question: is she a closet Scientologist? — NRen2k5^(TALK), 12:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I whole heartedly agree. I'm writing this as I'm watching her interview on CNN. I can sort of understand what she is going through, but that does not give her the right to make outrageous sorts of claims. Autism is onset through a corruption of genetics which affect brain development. Autism is 5x more likely through be passed on through a corrupted chromosome from the mother or father during pregnancy. In addition, since when are "parental anecdotes" considered scientific evidence? I can honestly say that is one of the most BS things I have ever heard. Has this playmate even studied basic chemistry and biology? I think not. Darksamus8 (talk) 01:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you ever studied the autism cases? Thousands of American kids developed autism symptoms immediately after their series of vaccinations. Autism symptoms look exactly like those of mercury poisoning. So, yes, if the autism appeared directly after the kid has been given a vaccination, it's very likely that diet and vitamins help cleanse their system. 213.39.187.143 (talk) 07:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Autism symptoms manifest at a certain age. Vaccinations are given to children around the same time. This is a textbook case of why you cannot infer causation from a correlation. There is no proof of a connection, nor is there any evidence to warrant drawing one. Many things happen to children at that age in their development; none of them linked to vaccinations (Time Magazine had a good article about this here. We don't say that vaccination causes children to start crawling, or develop teeth -- so why draw a link to autism? Also, vitamins do not "cleanse systems" (whatever that means). Regardless, autism is a genetic disorder, not something caused by a build-up of "toxins".--Squishy bananas (talk) 16:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its got to do with the mercury in the vaccines that they use to preserve them. There is plenty of information out there that does indicate that the vaccines lead to autism because of the way mercury affects the brain.

Sister Amy

Why does this article redirect from her sister Amy McCarthy too? She's not her. 213.39.187.143 (talk) 07:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
