I can see him having a little Nazi vinyl fetish.

It's hard to ask a satirist to apologize for doing his jorb. Someone with twisted panties in the Midwest needs to get a life.

Macular Degenerate - Someone with twisted panties in the Midwest needs to get a life.

That would be about 95% of MN's population.

Since MN is only about 50.5% female... ew.

"While you may attempt to defend your writing as satire, we hardly find anything defensible about your finding humor in your desire to have sex with women or robots that look like women simply to give yourself a good time," the letter stated.

"While you may attempt to defend your binge shopping as a harmless hobby, we hardly find anything defensible about your spending our money in your desire to buy shoes that make you look like whores simply to give yourself the illusion of looking good," stated their husbands.

if R's are as inclined to gay sex as Farkers proclaim, those must be some loooooooooooooooooonely women. Rich cougars if you will?

How pathetic do you have to be to get pissed over an eight-year old article?

Oh...

 
milk_plus 2008-05-23 08:46:34 PM  
That's a lot of vagina sand.

 
proteus_b 2008-05-23 08:51:48 PM  
this is undoubtedly a liberal conspiracy to make republican women seem like robots that nobody would ever have sex with...

 
Therion [TotalFark] 2008-05-23 08:54:39 PM  
I remember reading Franken's article years ago. Wasn't that the sequel to the story where young girls were raped by bear?

 
Phil Moskowitz 2008-05-23 08:58:08 PM  
Satire that's 8 farking years old. TAKE YOUR MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE AND GO SOMEWHERE QUIET TO DIE.

The thing is, if liberals took every single thing republicans did, rent their clothes and tore their hair out, they'd actually be called on it with a nested cycle of recurring outrage of the outrage.

I understand that satire is hard to swallow some times, but we wasn't finding humor in the desire to have unemotional sex with a woman or a robot. He was satirizing the fact that there are women who feel once you get married, that they shouldn't need to give blow jobs any more.

Thanks to lawyers and frivolous lawsuits that are unnacountably taken seriously by at least some judges and juries, you can actually make a really good living in this country nowadays by being a professional "offended by everything" victim.

The MN GOP better start singing the praises of their candidates. As it stands the Senate seat is going to get turned over and the RNC Convention host state is going to have a majority of delegates for Ron Paul.

Sex! Oh...my...GOD!
There is something wrong with people who find sex offensive.

I'm having sex with a robot right now so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

 
Suicidal Writer 2008-05-23 09:14:57 PM  
O, wow, look, it's adults doing something sexual even in fantasy with other adults. OMG!!! This is not typical of people who have not evolved to a post-sexual plane.

They'll get over it.

Brought to you by the people who elected a professional wrestler as Governor.

Shocked, I am.

We're not ALL prudes.

The Republicans here in MN are just pissed that they have a Mooslim congressman.

Can't stand Limbaugh & Bill Maher because both allowed Franken to pass himself off as a political intellect.

If it was the National Org. of Women (NOW) or some other 'librul' women's group doing the protesting I wonder if as many people would have a problem with it?

Yes, Fark is notoriously feminist-friendly.

If they were protesting over an 8 year old piece of satire? Yeah, I think most of us would still have a problem. And Franken usually strikes me as a smart guy, he just is completely without tact in attacking people.

Dr. Laura Dean has the gumption to talk about al Frankens work when she herself was almost kicked off of her show for her douchebaggedness.

You are not supposed to have a good time having sex with women or "robots that look like women".


These chicks are doing it wrong.

/and obviously their lovers

Yes I would, just like they did to Jim Webb, now go away.
