Toys are carefully planned investments that companies spend countless hours developing in the hopes that children will use them to foster memories that they'll cherish for a lifetime.
But sometimes, they just end up looking like dongs.
The valley of the Fallen, an immense monument built by the dictator Francisco Franco as a mausoleum for himself and tens of thousands of the war dead, has long stoked passionate debate in Spain. The artificial granite ridge outside Madrid was carved by political prisoners on the losing side of the Spanish Civil War. For many Spaniards today, the surging 500ft cross which tops it is the most flagrant symbol of Franco-era repression.
But now this sombre site has aroused controversy for an unlikely reason: its use as a location in the filming of a satirical pornographic movie, Antonio Ramirez, the Fascist, set in 1960s Spain.
The plot revolves around a visit by the protagonist Antonio, his wife, his daughter, a maid and their “red” neighbour, to Franco's mausoleum, where thousands of Civil War victims are buried – often, in the case of the losing Republicans, against their families' will.
Jimmy Kimmel is no fan of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the regulatory body in charge of policing the airwaves. Each week he mocks their job by taking clips with normal every day language and using censorship to make it seem lewd or inappropriate. As a result everything from “Sesame Street” to CNN comes out dirty…and hilarious.
This week, Jimmy got intimate with reality show hosts, explored Senator Hatch’s love for Ted Kennedy, and exposed Bradley Coopers’s crush on Jon Lovitz. It’s all pretty disturbing for a Saturday morning.
In a 2001 episode of Friends, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) complains to a hotel clerk that she’s not to blame for some of the charges on her bill. “Sir, for the last time, I don’t care what the computer says. We did not take a bag of Mashuga Nuts from the minibar, and we did not watch Doctor Do-Me-a-Little.” This July, Friends got a porn parody of its own (see above), one of the many sitcom-based porn movies that have popped up in the past few years, some obvious (Three’s Company practically writes itself), others less so (Seinfeld? Honestly?). This recent spate of parody porn stems from the success of 2007’s Not the Bradys XXX. Jeff Mullen, who writes and directs under the name Will Ryder, helmed the Brady spoof and has since directed a sequel, as well as parodies of Bewitched, The Cosby Show, and most recently, Married With Children. He spoke to NEWSWEEK’s Joshua Alston.
What’s been up?
I’m feeling good. Just wrapped eight days of shooting the next episode of The Brady Bunch spoof. Incredible grueling hours. Whipping the cast into shape. Locking the doors, not letting them leave, that kind of thing.
So there’s a third one coming down the pike?
The third one is coming out at the end of October, and it’s the best one so far. We completely revamped and built all the sets from scratch rather than shoot in a house. And so we built the living room, everything. The set looks exactly like The Brady Bunch. It’s pretty impressive.
And the trailer is really funny but isn t that always the way. New Sensations 30 Rock A XXX Parody seems to get the comedy of our favorite sitcom and the chick playing Tina Fey is pretty hot too Her name is Lisa Ann who also played Sarah Palin and she leads a bunch of adult actors doing very good impersonations of Tracy Morgan Alec Baldwin Jane Krakowski and the rest of the gang. While we haven t seen any of the naked action what comes between the scenes is dead-on. If the actors can get that right than delivering a relentless rogering should be easy. Oh and wait for “I m a black robot motherfucker ” to be on a T-shirt in Times Square by the end of next week. If you want to buy the movie click here NSFW unless you work in a strip club . This new movie is the latest in a long line of smutty features based on beloved TV shows. How did this happen Well porn producers figured out that people like prepackaged commodities and that if they made these parodies then people like us would write about them and give them free advertising. Damn trapped again But this one appears really worth it. We re not falling into this trap again for The Fucks of Life.
No one working in online video today will claim that the medium is a safe zone for feminism. I mean, there are plenty of dynamic and talented women working behind and in front of the camera, but the web’s special talent for objectifying them can usually be considered to be a factor in their success — especially in light of Steve Bryant’s observation that “boobs evolved for thumbnails.” Putting hot chicks in your videos is a commonly accepted way of getting people to watch them. We accept it, and move on.
But every once in awhile a show comes along that makes me think about this again. Because the question at the heart of today’s review is as follows: How sexist is The IT Chicks, exactly?
Produced by the entertainment division of L.A.-based Woo Agency (whose clients include Intel, Fat Burger and Linksys), IT Chicks is a comedy series about a small Internet company whose IT department consists of two model-hot women, who speak fluent geek and in theory are smarter than their bosses. (It is also an advertising platform for technology products, with the first episode devoted to singing the praises of NETGEAR’s ReadyNAS backup system.)
So how many of you saw Harry Potter this weekend? Yeah yeah, great, we don’t really care– But we LOVE spoofs of Harry Potter. Thus in mock celebration, here are 6 videos in which the obvious and weird sexual tension between certain 30-year-old wizard kids gets mounted. Hard.
This week, Jimmy looked at Oprah‘s new fitness regimen, Kelly Ripa‘s morning show outburst, and the president’s reaction to a broken teleprompter. It’s all pretty disturbing for a Saturday morning.
Jimmy Kimmel is no fan of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the regulatory body in charge of policing the airwaves. So each week he does a segment called “This Week In Unnecessary Censorship,” that takes normal every day language and makes it seems lewd by bleeping out words or phrases. As a result everything from “American Idol” to Regis comes out dirty…and hilarious.
This week, Jimmy looked at President Carter’s true hopes for the Middle East, what Sherri Shepherd really thinks of Lauren Conrad‘s “Hills,” and a major wardrobe malfunction on live TV. It’s all pretty disturbing for a Saturday morning.
We don’t mean to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but have you ever noticed that American Apparel ads try to make the most mundane things sexy? Well, the guys at UCB Comedy have noticed and put together a hilarious commercial parody about it.
The video below shows just what we imagine goes on during the shooting of an American Apparel ad – lots of chaos and “making every day America sensual.”
