There’s some over Larry Flynt’s plan for a Sarah Palin porn flick. NYPost on the flick, some moderate indignation from a lefty over at the Moderate Voice, which is awfully bi-partisan of them. Also, a month or so ago, Melissa Clouthier, though apparently she was being a tad opportunitistic with her header, lacking the actual Sarah Palin nudie PhotoShop link. (You’ll get there via cleavage-con The Other McCain, if you must, you perv). Despicable and demeaning? Sure. Welcome to America. It’s background noise. Porn happens.
I don’t see much point in getting exercised about anything Larry Flynt does. In fact, here’s a thought. Howabout getting a Tina Fey look-alike and … never mind.
It isn’t like the same kind of thing hasn’t been done with Hillary Clinton, only she didn’t make out as, er, come off … lessee the heck how to put that … so well. (NSFAnywhere.) Hey, remember when Hillary decided she needed to show a little? You remember, the Hillary cleavage flap ( … sorry, bad choice of words again).
Here’s some conservative Christian indignation, demanding to know where the Obama look-alike porn is. I dunno, who says there isn’t any? Google and Yahoo point mainly to that Obama porn virus alert, though I would be stunned if America’s adult entertainment industry was not fully expressing its free speech rights in the middle of this hot, hot election cycle. Flynt likes tweaking conservative Christians but I think most smutistes just like making money, and Obama is hot this year. (Sorry, more regretable verbiage selection. You try writing about it and see how you do.) Hey, I wonder if the lucrative geezer porn industry has worked anything up.
Disclaimer: My interest in all of this sordid business is purely professional, for purposes of political and cultural commentary. Honest!
