Never let it be said that nothing semi-interesting goes down in Oklahoma. That is, if it’s even vaguely risqué when Jessica Alba, while shooting a film in Oklahoma City, gets bored and decides to vandalize a little property. Oh sure, she might seem oh-so-serious, but Alba is one of those closeted rebels that you’d never suspect until she does something completely dimwitted like glue the same poster all over downtown OKC. Yes, seriously:
Last week, Jessica Alba plastered posters of a great white shark across different spots in Downtown Oklahoma City. These locations included Stage Center and a railroad overpass near Bricktown. And she did it all to bring awareness to the dwindling great white shark population.
. . . .
Yeah, I’m not too sure what to think about this. On one hand, I guess it’s pretty cool that a hot Hollywood A-lister flew an animal rights activist to Oklahoma City to help her make an artistic political statement. On the other hand, what does this say about our city when a Hollywood A-lister has to fly an animal rights activist to town just for a little entertainment? I know we’re not L.A. or New York, but is Oklahoma City really that boring? I mean we do have a canal and a cowboy hall of a fame and firefighters museum and…well…nevermind.
At least Alba had enough sense to stay away from the Murrah Federal Building Memorial, but she showed no mercy for a United Way poster. Naturally, Alba isn’t exactly hoofing it in the safest part of town, at least from a nighttime perspective, and I’m not sure what great white sharks have to do with Oklahoma. Too cryptic for me, mates.
UPDATE: Alba has issued a formal apology to the citizens of OKC, but it still looks like the cops still wanna talk to her.
