Larry Flynt Defends Ad Parody Featuring S.E. Cupp
Los Angeles, CA – May 24, 2012 – In response to the recent press surrounding the publishing of an Ad Parody featuring S.E. Cupp, Hustler Founder Larry Flynt offers the following statement:
“As a result of our publishing an ad parody of political pundit S.E. Cupp that depicted her having oral sex, the prudish and delusional right wing has accused me and my magazine of being sexist and waging a war on women,” says Mr. Flynt. “That’s absurd. The picture was clearly labeled as satire. It was intended as humorous commentary about her politics. We stated that no such image of Ms. Cupp actually exists. Secondly, the feature, which we run every month, has previously depicted such male luminaries as Mario Cuomo, Dan Rather and, most recently, my friend Bill Maher. How misogynistic or sexist is that?”
Mr. Flynt Continues:
“The ad parody was protected free speech as decided by unanimous decision by the Supreme Court in 1988, Flynt v. Falwell, which afforded parody protection under the First Amendment. So critics, get a life. Find another horse to beat. We don’t know anything about Ms. Cupp’s personal life, but we do know that oral sex is practiced by the majority of adult Americans, both male and female. The fact that the picture of Ms. Cupp has generated so much flap says more about the sexual repression of the American people than it does anything else. Oral sex is a normal and healthy practice.”

I just saw the clip of the ladies on the View having a fit over the satirical ad. These woman have every right to criticize the ad, and they are certainly allowed their outrage. However, satire, particularly political satire, is a healthy and necessary part of a functioning, free democracy. Curse and exclaim the ad all they want, it is vital that this form of social commentary exists, just as much as they are allowed to express themselves. You guys should post a whole series of them for free online, to adults, so they can see all of the (far more well-known) celebrities that have endured the same treatment so they can put this in perspective. Thanks. Big fan, by the way.

You’re perhaps the biggest piece of shit in this country. Because you can’t stand that many people live by a moral code- where you have no soul or ethics.. you can only insult your adversaries. What a sad existence; sucks to be you. But you will rot in hell, burning in a lake of fire, anyway. You are crippled and you’ve suffered the tragedy of the loss of your girlfriend because you are such a vile asshole. Enjoy! Oh that’s right.. you can’t HAHAHA!!! We conservatives are laughing our asses off at you.

Oh yeah; btw, you are the asshole of the century. HAHAHA!!

Hey Miguel- ur the asshole. I for one, am proud to have someone like Larry Flynt out there that fights for our countries rights. After what Bush did to our country I cannot believe that anyone out there could be a conservative republican. Are all of u assholes blind to what the republicans have done to our country? Larry Flynt fights more for our countries rights then the other citizens of this country. Our first amendment allows Larry Flynt or anyone else the right to publish or say whatever they want to say or publish as long as they say that it’s satire or parody. It isn’t serious and all of u conservative ppl out there that think it is need to friggin relax and start worrying about the REAL PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNRTY.

Miguel, the Hispanic conservative. If you can’t beat them, join them.
Little does he realize, the party he favors is the party that will deport him one day soon.

Larry, you pathetic phony. Real satire would be a doctored photo of Michelle “the mooch” Obama sucking on a white phallus with the caption:
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” That would become an instant collectible.

I would like to thank Larry Flynt for at least partially fulfilling my fantasy of S.E. Cupp . . . I know the chances of giving this GORGEOUS Conservative talker a world-shaking orgasm as she crushes my waist with her quivering thighs and screams “I love Liberals!!!” under her steamed-up glasses are virtually nil. The parody will have to tide me over.
Thank you, Mr. Flynt!

I’m not a fan of SE Cupp, but one thing that softened my criticism of her was hearing her last week proudly admitting she’s atheist…I love it! I’ve never heard of such an oxymoron: A Conservative Republican Atheist
my recent favorite factual sources: consortiumnews.com pleasecutthecrap.com and opednews.com
Wake the fuck up America…if you don’t, the Republicans are gonna make sure you are comatose for decades to come while they circle jerk on their 500ft yachts and punish your kids who grew up to be their servants.
