All men in the FLDS bring the religion belief out as an excuse so can can do and married whoever they want, which called "spiritual marriage". What the hell !! If they can called "spiritual marriage" then why not also called "spiritual sex".... They are sicked people in forcing teenagers (age from 12 to 16) having sex with them. I dont see no different then "rape". They are manilupated people mind and brain washed those females has no illeligent, and locked them up in the cage with no outside media contact. The state law is above the religion belief. If a rape case from a older man to a 13 years old girl on the street is charge, then why a rape case from older man to a 13 years old girl in polygamist is acceptable? (is that because the relegion belief). So why DONT this COUNTRY RUN by RELIGIOUS GROUP of PEOPLE like FDLS? In Texas state law doesnt allow polygamy and there is a law called "common marriage" if two people live together for certain months (i think 6 months or longer) without marriage license, they are automatically become husband and wife. So in this case "spiritual marriage" is same as marriage without license and it's go against polygamy; however, marriage with teenagers are also against the law of state of Texas.

Seems basically like the same thing, just without the marriage. If polygamy itself should be not allowed, then should the other be banned also? Shaquille O'neal has I think 10 children with 6 different women. Should he be jailed and the children confiscated?

I was the model in the new kswiss advert with Sebastian Foucan. I can understand why you'd think that, but for starters, like someone else said, they use Foucan in another ad where it says 'keep it pure' and secondly, when I was working on the set, I got to meet some people from kswiss. One of the guys called Darrell is one of the most senior members of the whole brand, and he's black. There were also several other black and ethnic minorities working there. I understand what you're saying but seriously... don't you think you're over analyzing? Please do some research before you accuse people of something so ridiculous…

Clearly, 1) K-Swiss DOES use black models, and 2) the motto clearly refers to sport, given the context. Yes, racism exists. But not in this ad campaign. You're going to have to use another example to support your argument.

You will notice on the K-Swiss website that the caption for her television commercial reads "Pure Sport". I am simply suggesting that you may be reading too much into the advert in Teen Vogue. Are the ads featuring Mr. Foucan and ending with the "Keep It Pure" theme racist, or the ad with Mr. Foucan featured at http://www.kswiss.com/content/advertising/#/ads/0/ with "Keep It Pure" across the front of the ad in the form of a watermark racist? Each instance of the use of "Keep It Pure" seems to strengthen the argument that pure sport is the campaign's theme.

First off whats the purpose of the ad saying "keep it pure". There is such a thing as subtle racism, Something that isnt as blatent but obviously meaning somenthing. Maybe ur not getting what i am trying to say. The ad in my opinion is racist.
