Turns out this isn't a prank (or is it?): The abstinence lobby -- and yes, there's actually an abstinence lobby -- is going after Hollywood.
"Abstinence Takes On Hollywood" is the title of a three day conference in August at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel.
And how cute is this: They've titled their sessions after movies, just to get their attendees into the Hollywood spirit.
Conferencegoers attending the "What A Girl Wants" session, for example, will take part in "discussions on the benefit of marriage and marriage education."
"Around the World in 80 Days"? "International Abstinence Advocates share their stories." Meanwhile, the "As Good as it Gets" session promises a talk about "romance without regrets."
And my favorite, those showing up for the "It's A Wonderful Life" panel will learn "the benefits of purity."
The weekend also includes the big "Abstie Award Banquet." (Again, really?)
OK, here's a portion of the release:
LIGHTS, CAMERA, NO ACTION.
What happens when 1,100 abstinence advocates gather in the heart of Hollywood, California, to create change?
With sessions, receptions, activities, and meals designed to Spark Imagination, Challenge Status Quo, and Create Debate, Visions will Expand.
Join the Abstinence Clearinghouse and Abstinence Advocates from around the world at
The Ninth International Abstinence Leadership Conference
August 4-6, 2005 at the Renaissance Hotel, Hollywood
Where the Spotlight is on You!
Attendees will leave refreshed and ready to conquer the world.
We raise the bar. We push the limits. We make things happen, and Hollywood will never be the same!
Whaddyuh say we direct a few Hollywood Blvd. hookers toward the Renaissance Hotel the first weekend of August...
