Babs' Avatar: Offensive
So a porn star dresses up like Sarah Palin, and we're supposed to laugh. In fact, pictures of this porn star dressed up as Sarah Palin in a bikini, in little-girl outfits in a classroom . . . I'm sure a movie has already been made . . . and we're supposed to laugh.
1. The mainstreaming of porn as a comical device is not funny. 2. The "I'm here to be fuc*ed" is a disgusting meme about Palin that is being peddled by disgusting figures. 3. Don't say it's no different than if a black male porn star dressed up like Barack Obama (haven't seen photo evidence of that for others' amusement and mockery) . . . In the instance of porn and the use of women as sexual tools -- it's different. 4. It's the debased joke of all jokes, and it doesn't even have the redeeming value of political satire. It plays only on stereotype, and it's sexist. 5. There's lack of respect, and then there's lack of respect. 6. We no longer have any standards about what is acceptable or appropriate so long as it's funny. Ha ha ha ha. There are many other reasons, but I'll step down for now.

The plot's a bit thin but the visuals are stunning.

This joke is #1 on the list of "stale and old jokes about pornography".
Your material is usually pretty good, but even Leno has moved past this joke, which is saying something.

You know what would make Nailin' Palin perfect? If the actress in the Palin role tries to copy her weirdly Minnesota accent. That would possibly make it the most perfect porn flick ever.

There's dialogue in those movies? Wow, I've been missing out.

Wow Levin, and I thought I was a real nosebleed sometimes. Switch to decaf already.

And here's joke #2 on that previously mentioned list. Come on Landpoke, trot out #3. I know you're itching to!

While I agree overall with your sentiments about women, pornography, and politics, I don't think anyone can credibly question Barbara Gordon's bona fides (damn! we are Roman) in this regard.
