Meghan McCain says in a new interview that sketches performed on "Saturday Night Live" mocking her during her stint on ABC's "The View" made her feel like she was "the laughing stock of the country." "I think partly 'Saturday Night Live' parodies have this way of becoming reality. I’ve seen it so many times with Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton. The stereotypes of who you are become true. Bush being an idiot. I still think Alex Trebek is someone who celebrities hated. Sometimes the parody is the person, and I think that probably played a factor, too," McCain said during a...

Having watched a lot of baseball (and not much else programming) I have seen so many commercials where the white male is portrayed as dumb, bumbling or stupid while women, children and "people of color" are the wise, composed, and rational. No doubt this marketing approach has been tested and proved acceptable, but I still find myself irritated every time I see it. While boycotting products marketed this way may or may not be effective I have wondered what the impact would be if some creative politically incorrect film maker would produce parodies of these ads where the white male...

Nice parody of Obama http://safeshare.tv/w/fHyHhEzssd

The success of any great piece of art is determined by a few key factors. Does it accomplish what it sets out to achieve? Does it illuminate some essential aspect of the human condition? Does it change those who are exposed to it — rewire the circuitry, add new ideas that disturb the status quo? Does it build on the art of others, in the process crafting something profoundly new? Most important, does it advocate for the enduring relevance of tinfoil? Under these guidelines, Weird Al Yankovic's new "Mandatory Fun" is a stone cold masterpiece. Its goal remains the same...

Parodies, once a cheaply filmed niche segment of the adult movie market, are big business these days - filled with expensive special effects, real story lines, actors who can (sometimes) actually act and costumes that even comic-book geeks find authentic. The movies may also help save an industry looking to rebound from years of Internet piracy, illegal downloads and amateur videos that have caused a serious financial hit, said Mark Kernes, senior editor at Adult Video News. The business has gone from annual revenues of as much as $12 billion a few years ago to about $7 billion today

Anyone who has met me knows I'm totally like, no fan of 26-year-old woman Meghan McCain. I found her latest threat to sue Erick Erickson at RedState.com for "illegally using her byline" on Leon Wolf's "Totally Meghan McCain" parody columns absolutely hilarious. Even better, McCain claimed the parodies, which were poorly written on purpose, could be confused with her real columns at The Daily Best. The buxom blogette tweeted: Sexist? Really? Here is part of the parody post that triggered McCain's lawsuit threat: Firstly in the first place, some people had a question about my very obvious statement, “I don’t...

Okay, okay. I just can't help it. This whole impeachment fever thing on the left is really cracking me up bigtime. So here we go for the FOURTH time in a row with another DUFU edition on this topic. This time it is an impeachment singalong with words provided by that world famous songmeister and Freeper, Charles Henrickson. The first of his songs was inspired by the title of Sunday's DUFU edition, "Impeach! It's Now Or Never" and is titled, IT'S NOW OR NEVER (Time to impeach) sung to the tune of the Elvis hit, It's Now Or Never:...

(In response to my request for song parodies based on the theme of the House In Disarray, I received several great ones, including these three. The first and last one are by Charles Henrickson and the second one listed here is by Doug From Upland. So sit back and follow the bouncing ball as you sing along. First up is Henrickson's There Is A House In Disarray (House of the Rising Sum) sung to the tune of House of the Rising Sun.) There is a House in disarray On a Hill in Washington And it's been the doin' of...

A real funny parody about the 2008 Presidential Election. Hope you enjoy. See it here at http://www.xanga.com/restlessnative

Although he can croon through watered down doo-wop tunes easily enough, former president Bill Clinton also displays a surprising capacity for grit when he delivers a soul-grinding rendition of "Heard it Through The Grapevine" ("Read It In the Headlines"). He even throws a greasy bone to his delta roots with a hearty "Whitewater Blues." And that's just in the first collection of political humorist Paul Shanklin's parodies, a key staple—and one of the wittiest weapons—of the Rush Limbaugh Show since 1993. Shanklin scored the job when he phoned Limbaugh's producer as Bill Clinton and said, "I don't feel Rush and...

Yeah, well if they suck that bad make your own! There once was a man named Kerry Whose voting record was very scary He flips and he flops, while his poll numbers drop and his positions seem contrary There once was a Democrat named John who of waffles he was very fond over and over he served them up while for some odd reason his followers ate them up until they evetually caught on Part 1: The Fairy There once was a fairy named Leon who asked a paticular John what is your wish I'll serve up a dish and...

THE LAW AND POLITICS OF INTERNET ACTIVISM: The Yes Men, Peta, Rtmark, And The Phenomenon Of Parody Websites By ANITA RAMASASTRY ---- Wednesday, Jun. 05, 2002 On May 21, I received an email informing me that the World Trade Organization (WTO) was going to dissolve itself and create a new organization that would "have human rights rather than business interests as its bottom line." Why? Because of "recent studies which indicate strongly that the current free trade rules and policies have increased poverty, pollution, and inequality, and have eroded democratic principles, with a disproportionately large negative effect on the poorest...

On the Kirby Wilber Show on KVI 570AM this morning, they played a song parody composed by Kirby's producer, David Bose, in response to an op-ed piece in the Seattle Post Intelligencer by an Arabic terrorist who is now a "citizen" of the United States, complaining about our country and saying he's ashamed of America. Below are some of the lyrics, and the letter from Osama Shabeneh, an America-hating Palestinian who moved to the U.S. from Hebron on the West Bank and was recently granted US citizenship. I'm Ashamed to be an American(Sung to the tune of to "I'm Proud...
