Larry Flynt’s Sarah Palin–lookalike porn
Has Flynt gone too far by making a porno based on the VP hopeful?
Hustler founder Larry Flynt has sunk to a new low in misogyny, said Amanda Carpenter in Glamour online. The so-called defender of free speech has reportedly produced a pornographic DVD featuring a Sarah Palin–lookalike. This is what liberals do to conservative women who have the audacity to go out without "swathing themselves in pantsuits" and donning manly haircuts. I sincerely “hope that all women” are “outraged by this.”
“Offended?” said Meaningful Distraction. Give me a break. “Liberals like Flynt didn’t invent the market for objectifying Sarah Palin.” And to be honest, “they’re probably following conservatives’ lead.” It’s pretty safe to say that “millions of neocons have probably laid up at night” thinking dirty thoughts Palin.
Well, like it or not, said Jeff Thomas in The Mercury News online, this DVD is going to be released—and you can “bet” it will be out “before Election Day.” And considering Palin's immense popularity at the moment, this porno will likely make Flynt even richer.
