Heartly.

The name is actually "Hartley". I saw this story several days ago. Some alternative titles for the porn flick were suggested:

"Drill, Baby, Drill"

"Riding Pipeline"

"Northern Xposure" (this site will not allow three consecutive "X"s)

"The Russians Are Cumming!"

"Peelin' Palin"

"Alaska's Bush"

"Nanookie of the North"

Of course, the "no back door" limitation rules out "Impalin' Palin"

...uh, no, I don't condone this kind of stuff, either.

I like the title "Veep Throat" better.

Nina Hartley as Hillary should be interesting. Did you know next year will be her 25th in the porn world? I was thinking about sending her a card or something.

I literally got tangled up with Nina Hartley at the Deja Vu in Ypsi many years ago. She was walking by me on her way to the stage, and the tassles she was wearing got tangled up in the paper clip I had stuck in the zipper of my jacket because the handle was broke. It took us several seconds to untangle. It was lucky for me that her brute of a bodyguard did not misunderstand the situation.

So, for men like Flynt, portraying women in sexual situations is a way of expressing hostility toward them. These men equate sexuality with humiliation.

Flynt is obviously hostile toward Hillary, Condi, Palin, and all women in general really. He sees his porn as a weapon to attack his enemies. This is how he perceives sex in general. It is sadly a common pathology in our society. For these men, the impulse is to cut women down to size and debase them. Portraying them as sexual beings (and in the twisted and destructive way porn portrays sexuality) is just one of the publically visible expressions of this sickness.

Great comments, everyone... And I think you've hit the nail on the head here, Robert. I think that's exactly what's going on.

And I will correct the spelling of Hartley's name. I apologize.

Sexist p0rn? Isn't that a bit redundant? (Would a woman who voluntarily took part in a swimsuit competition have any room to complain?)

I may be wrong, but it would seem that Larry Flynt's intention with this movie is "fantasy fulfillment" rather than a hatred toward women. (OK, his first motivation is making money.) An attractive woman in a position of power is often the subject of mens' fantasies. And when Flynt saw a semi-competent book-censoring bible-thumping creationist, he couldn't resist. (The plot summary includes, "young Paylin's creationist college professor explains a big bang theory even she can't deny!"..hehehe)

I think Flynt is also wanting to show everyone, "Look at what I can still do!" in his ever-continuing crusade to advance Free Speech. Flynt did a piece on Elliot Spitzer a while back which counters the belief that he only targets women. And "Nailin' Paylin" has got to be better than "Ridin' Biden", don'cha think?

Flynt's involvement with this movie means Sarah Palin will have the opportunity to learn about a *second* Supreme Court case, which can only be good.

Flynt has a history of exposing government hypocrisy. Back a few years ago, Louisiana Republican Rep. Bob Livington resigned, after Flynt dug up some dirt about an alleged extramarital affair. Flynt may also be trying to effect the Presidential Erection, er I mean Election. Although I fear that it may have the opposite impact if the religious right makes a big deal about "those damn p0rn-loving liberals".

Larry Flynt readily admits that he's a self-serving scumbag p0rnographer. But he defended all the way to the Supreme Court his right to publish a parody that claimed that fundamentalist evangelical demagogue Jerry Falwell had screwed his own mother in an outhouse. His standing up for Free Speech was a significant positive contribution to our society, for which we should all be grateful for. (Had Flynt lost that case, I would be more hesitant to post this comment for fear of retribution from the Morality Police.)

Even though I respect Flynt's right to make this movie, I doubt that I will go see it. Why pay good money for p0rn when there's so much free stuff available? But the comedic value may be worth it, and the Palin-Condi-Hillary-look-alike three-way sounds interesting. But anyone who finds it offensive should definitely NOT go see it. (hmmm, this site's spam filter accepts "erection" but I had to spell "p0rn" and "p0rnographer" with a zero.)

I absolutely love what capitalism brings to this country. No Anal huh?! At least she isn't getting f*&#*ed in the ass like we are if she gets elected.

For a good laugh, see our spoof of this concept.

Michael S., are you suggesting "fantasy fullfillment" and hostility toward women are somehow mutually exclusive?

Cheney had the anal clause removed from the VP oath. It's still required for Cabinet positions.

Robert, no I'm not. Let me now re-phrase the portion of my previous comment you are targetting.

"I may be wrong, but it would seem that Larry Flynt's intention with this movie is "fantasy fulfillment" AND NOT NECESSARILY a hatred toward women."

There. Now I'm immune to you trapping me into the no-win position of defending the "merits" of p0rn.
:-)

RATS! ;)

I call ALL the sick things I do "fantasy fullfillment" and I urge all of you to do the same. It weighs way less on my conscience that way, and I'm less likely to consider the damage I might be doing to myself and others.

I like this notion that certain folks seem to keep reverting back to which suggests that anything a person choses to do couldn't be destructive or wrong for them. It's such a glaring leap in logic it astounds me that anyone who can put a sentence together doesn't catch themselves before they make it.

I never question anyone's right to do what they want with themselves, but I also don't feel like tip toeing past their rationalizations about any of it. Why should I? I'd be doing them and myself a disservice if I did. The defensive emotional reaction everyone who's doing something stupid with themselves has to being reminded is to pretend someone's trying to stop them just by talking about it. It's a pathetic thing to watch.

(Because Meta would never look at such a thing.)
