Good one! What would be a funny way to evoke the image of a young black buck and an old white guy? Maybe some sort of joke about a huge phallus. Haha, I slay me. God, you'll make reclusiveleftist.com seem sane before this is over.

Nice going, Edward. Now I have to explain to my (overwhelmingly conservative) coworkers why I'm laughing uncontrollably.

*snicker*

Okay, now we need one for Mitt Romney, since he's running next election. I suggest Romney as a synonym for "rape" since he looks so much like a rapist.

Please correct Edward's spelling for him to "Sarahcuda," as we wouldn't want people to miss the joke.

I get it, I get it, but... Just like Dan Savage thinking that gay-bashing is funny when it happens to non-gays, this is sexism and it's not funny no matter to whom it happens.

Can't we just judge people on the quality or reasoning behind their beliefs and actions rather than on physical or psychological attributes over which they have no control?

i'm not laughing. and i DESPISE that incurious vicious bimbo with all my heart. it's cheap, misogynist (and i'm slow to call anything that word--i think it's over-applied), vulgar and just...contrived. surely we can do better.

@7, 8 and 9: How is that misogyny? Because it's happening to a woman? Was it misanthropy to coin the term "Santorum," or somehow gay-bashing? I think you're missing the point by a wide margin. Unhook your knee-jerk reaction, and see the satire for what it is: a political attack on someone who will set back womens' rights and reproductive rights 50 years if she gets the chance.
