Anyone traumatized by Barbara Eden's outfit is a self loathing fag.

Oh, and FIRST!

FOX news---where you can't fix stupid. What a bunch of simpering idiots. Traumatized my ass, when I watched her I thought she looked damn fine. Thanks to FOX for lowering the bar of respectable journalism to zero.

Did anyone say pandering to their 20% base.

Wow. These pukes are really stretching for things to complain about.. and they still can't get history right.

First of all, Barbara Eden was never allowed to show her navel on television. The costume in reference only showed the flesh between her bust and above her navel.

Secondly, the modern bikini, which showed far more flesh, was introduced into the world in the 1940's and made popular in the 1950's by Bridgette Bardot.

I wonder where they got that picture of Barbara. I'm pretty sure she was never allowed to expose her navel. I would have remembered I'm sure. Ah the stuff teenage dreams are made of.

Holy crap another gay republican?

Did I say gay?

I meant turbo-ultra-unbelievably-gay.

If the guy was serious, he's a bigger moron than Oh Really.

A moron? No.

Smithers come to life? Yes.

that was the funniest shit. When they started that piece last night, I was like, "Is that Eddie Munster on Fox?" LOLZ!

Hey... did you know Linda Stein was killed? Surely some of you music biz peeps knew her?

In 1970 or ‘68, Barbara Eden lowered the bar by wearing that sexy outfit, traumatized me as a child

Erik Estrada, however... rrrrrrrowwrrr!

What? Barbara Eden giving every pre-teen kid wood....I don't see the problem!

The navel picture they used was from a TV movie made 15 years after the show went off the air. They redesigned her costume to reflect what was the current standards as well as show off the fact that she still looked pretty damn good. I saw Babara Eden in person back in '86 when she performed with Bob Hope on a USO tour. She was so gorgeous then, I imagine she's still gorgeous now. These Fox shows are the real trash.

Yeah, I was traumatized too, that I couldn't get my very own Barbara Eden...

Fox and friends were probably upset that a young Larry Craig didn't get the part of the Genie.

Personally, I suspect the "Brown hair guy who’s not Steve Doocy" is full of it. If anyone gave him "trauma" as a kid, I bet it was Tarzan, lord of his jungle.

He was traumatized by I Dream of Jeannie? He'd be in a freekin' coma if he'd have known some of the sluts I knew back then.

BTW: For me as a '60s straight, male, teen, Barbara Eden's schwingin' tatas were the only reason to give the show a glance.

Is Faux declaring a "War on Halloween"?

You see folks? This is why we must watch the great family value type shows on Fox. Shows like Married With Children. You never heard about Bud Bundy traumatizing himself!

Thanks to Barbara Eden, I never recycle a bottle without rubbing it to make sure she's not inside. And for the record, Thank you Lord for Barbara Eden.

Traumatized? What the hell is wrong with these people? That guy just assumes that he has to denounce any sexual urges as negative and dirty. What a fucked up, repressed bunch of nutballs. No wonder they're all so kinked.

Probably for supporting a cult of some kind and worshipping pumpkins ......

You can't use respectable and/or journalism in the same sentence with FOX.

Good point. Fox gives freak shows a bad name.

The only way that a male could be traumatized by her costume would be if said male was gay and wasn't dealing well with their 'gayness'... Barbara Eden would cause the horrible headaches that sometimes come from prolonged self reflection...

I remember someone commenting that the scene in Starwars with Princess Leia started them on a huge masturbating stint. Ok, like it's HER fault that you can't keep your hands outta your pants and off your thang?

Republicans...

He was traumatized because daddy wouldn't let him dress as Jeannie on Halloween.

I don't want to offend any women in this board by sounding like a sexist male pig. However, what this moron at FAUX describes is not "trauma" but another far different, and far more wonderful process: Awakening.

It happens to every generation, I guess this self loathing jackass had that Genie lady. For us late 70s/early 80s children there was a very definite moment shared by all of us of the heterosexual male persuasion: Princess Leia outfit in The Return of the Jedi. That is the moment when you have a conflict of interests internally, because you think "I think I should be wowed by the explosions, the cool space ships and the awesome ass kicking. However, I don't care because I can't take my eyes off princess Leia. And I so wish I was there to kick Han Solo's ass and rescue her. I don't know why I would like to rescue her, but it seems to be the gallant thing to do..."

That is the instant that is like the shot that signifies the start of a looooong, crazy, and wonderful race. The prelude to that moment in which women were nothing but cootie carrying vessels at the beginning of the summer. And yet, once the summer was over and we all headed back to start highschool, girls were no longer "juckie," but rather "yummie!" And what a long amazing ride that begets. For normal healthy people, that leads to a life long discovery of the pleasures in life. Of the process of finding out that special someone who makes you happy and special. And try to combine that with the process of getting a career and carving your niche in this world before you expire and become worm food.

I am sure the same process happens to women, and instead of Princess Leia in a skimpy bikini, it gets triggered by the POP idol d'jour or whatever male hearth throw happens to be the fancy of the town at that time. And I am sure that homosexual men with a healthy (although they have to endure a far more torturous way) also get the same awakening for teh semi nude torso of a new Adonis prancing around.

Unfortunately, the self loathing jackass at FAUX seems to be stuck at the "girls, juckie!" phase which corresponds to an emotional and moral development more apropos of an 8 year old. And it seems that 20+% of the country is stuck in the same place... and that is why I find abhorrent....

There was a full-page article in a local paper about the "sexiness" of girls' costumes.

Here's my question... if the media ignored this story, would the outfits still be considered "sexy"? I think the media feeds problems like this more often than trying to help it.

I'm sorry to say, but I don't view four year olds (as stated on FOX News) as sexy, regardless of the outfit. Or any girl prior to 18, as sexy.

oh, i remember the america that had 'i dream of genie'. that place was awesome! this place, not so much.

Our friends at Fox are their own worst enemies - Jon Stewart would lose half of his material if they ever went off the air.

Isn't it funny how all the Fox News "tough on defense" Republican dopes are traumatized by a female genie? How brave of you.

MMMMM Han Solo! I didn;t think thatwas sexist at all.

E in MD @ 24:

You guys are missing the very obvious point he's making:

Brown hair guy who’s not Steve Doocy: “Here’s the problem, though. In 1970 or ‘68, Barbara Eden lowered the bar by wearing that sexy outfit, traumatized me as a child, and then every kid wore the Barbara Eden outfit…”

We went and wore a Barbara Eden outfit and he was traumatized by it!

Now if he had said that HE wore the Barbara Eden genie outfit as a kid, then I could probably understand why he was traumatized. Otherwise, the entire discussion made no sense - then again, it IS FOX we're talking about, isn't it?

I know english is an evolving language but I don't think "traumatized" is going to catch on as slang for "continuously masturbated"...

Oh, and FIRST!

LOL!! Great first comment. And possibly very accurate.
But seriously. BARBARA EDEN? Have you seen the outfits they sold this year in the Halloween stores?!? Barbara Eden's outfit, which a wardrobe person designed, not Barbara, did not even reveal her navel and was tame by comparison. It was more like Jasmine in Disney's (DISNEY'S!) Aladdin and were there any problems when that cartoon was released? This not-Doocy guy is a doozy. All the Fauxers can do is blame the first and most obvious (and wrong) person who comes to mind. Is this not-Doocy even married? Oh, yeah, sorry, that is not a clue. Larry Craig is married, after all.

Traumatized? This is undeniable proof that reich-wingers are complete and utter wimps. Only a cowardly wimpy reich-wing POS would be "traumatized" by a fictional character's wardrobe.

Wilma and Betty had some pretty slutty outfits. Was this reich-wing wimp "traumatized" over the Flintstones too? Bugs Bunny dressed as a woman bunny must have set him close to implosion

Dr. Matt @ 69:

Or by Dumbledore.

That slut! :)

Seriously, I've never seen such repressed people in my life. I hope, hope, hope that these turds don't have kids.

I'll bet the Milton-Berle-in-drag shows are the reason so many republicans have hairy palms, failing sight, and have lost their minds.

I really don't understand what a 30-60 year old man finds sexy about a 3 or 4 year old in a belly dancer costume. In my opinion most of them are so overweight they look like little bouncy balleys.

"Jon: This is Barbara Eden’s fault?! Yes, I too remember the trauma caused by Barbara Eden’s genie outfit. I could sometimes remember watching I Dream of Jeannie and traumatizing myself two or three times an episode. And that was before TiVO."

Republican Logic:
Barbara Eden - Traumatizing
Underaged Boys - Dessert

lol...faux news the McCarthy channel wait maybe we should upgrade that to the betrayus channel. The people who watch this channel are as f'd up as the presenters.

I wonder why they closed the comments above about Rachel Marsden.
I think you all should know she is in the States, because no one would hire her here at home in Vancouver.
She is a known Stalker who made her Swimming coach life miserable and he wasn't the only one.
To the males, be careful

Oh Master! YESSSSSSSSS Masterrrrrrrrrr!!! Give it to me MASTURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr!!!

Otay @ 88:

These Faux folks have some serious sexual hang-ups. No wonder they are so mentally ill.

Well, you have that Brit Hume guy who looks like he hasn't taken a good dump in over a decade. Then there are the succession of plastic fem bot generic blond women anchors who look as if their best friend is their vibrator as they embark in yet another round of diet and facial reconstruction in a pathetic attempt to entice their husbands who seem to prefer the curve less, pale body of a 10 yr old boy as their ideal of beauty. Then you have the Gibson guy, who seems to be a child molester in drag. And finally, Mr. O'really who seems to be pissed off because last nite ended with his wife saying "it is OK, it happens to a lot of men... don't worry" and now he wants to take it on the world.

Come to think of it, a GOP convention would provide copious amounts of data for plenty of studies on psychosis and mental illnesses derived from sexual repression and deviation.

OK, in the '60s I was watching "I Dream of Jeannie" when I could. Did I say "watching"? I mean "inexplicably hypnotized by".

I was also trick or treating in the '60s and my memory is bad but I'm pretty sure I would remember any "I Dream of Jeannie" costumes on the young neighborhood ladies and I don't remember them at all. You might say I was noticing stuff like that at that point in time. Also, '60s costumes were usually these flamable near-plastic jumpsuits with a hokey face mask, not what you would think of as a "costume" today. Certainly not one that would traumatize a budding talking head.

I'm not so sure that trauma boy is gay though. I wonder if most gay men wouldn't find something, dare I say it, fabulous in Jeannies costume.

I love how the Fox news and opinion shows are so morally uptight, while the Fox entertainment programs are ground breakers in raunch and vulgarity. As I recalled Fox's first hit was "Married with Children" which crossed all sorts of the then established lines and had lots of people upset and triggered boycotts.

I guess one way to get viewers is to produce "morally reprehensible" shows that people will watch because they are so cutting edge, and then have talking heads expounding manufactured outrage about what appears on TV and in society.

Barbara Eden, one of the classiest women on television ever.

Is this guy for real? Brown-Hair was traumatized by Barbara Eden's genie costume?!? What, was the man raised by Puritans or something? Good grief -- what a freakin' prude!

Given that I'm not yet forty, I think I would have noticed if the sexy Halloween costumes for little girls were due to influences as far back as that. I don't recall ever seeing this sort of thing for sale when I was still young enough to go trick-or-treating. Back then, most of the store-bought costumes I saw for sale consisted of a thin vinyl smock like a potato sack with some printing on it and a plastic face mask (which explains why my mother and I ended up either making my costumes or simply cobbling them together from bits and pieces around the house). Personally, that's the only sort of Halloween costume that I ever saw associated with Barbara Eden's Jeannie character while I was growing up -- and if Mr. Brown-Hair thinks that was even remotely risque, methinks he should take himself to a psychotherapist molto pronto!
