PORN PARODY

I don’t know what’s going on with Web Comics List. Seems like it’s been down for a few weeks. So you probably can’t see today’s incentive sketch. Darn shame, because I think it’s really funny and it turned out pretty good. I’m thinking I might switch back over to buzzComix on the whole voting/incentive scheme. We’ll see what pans out.

Truthfully, I’m not really into the ranking sites like I used to be. It was just a kick to see how long we could stick it out in the top spot for a while and pal around with some good friends in the Top 10. The incentives are always fun, though. I like how I can typically sneak in another extra little punchline that I might not be able to squeeze into a regular strip.

Here’s hoping that today’s comic isn’t too blue for those readers with small-children. I don’t know why things have become so sexually-oriented lately. It’s certainly isn’t sexy, so it’s probably not going to drive up traffic. It’s not like I have Cami running around in a bikini for no good reason.

Although that’s an idea!…

At any rate, I had to do careful research coming up with the porn parody movie titles. Some of them are quite profane, as you might imagine. I needed to find something quasi-graphic so you would get the gist of what I was referencing without crossing the line into flat-out offensive territory.

That said, I wish I could claim these titles as my own, but I’m not that witty. These are – in fact – actual titles off porn parody films.

I remember distinctly my first encounter with this phenomenon. It was 1996 and I was a freshman in college. Cami and I were going to the local campus video store to rent Mallrats. It was in and out of theaters so fast, we never got to see it. By the time we were in school, it was out on video.

Prominently displayed in the tiny, privately owned video store was a comprehensive selection of pornography. Not tucked away in some back room behind a beaded curtain and under black lights. No. I’m talking about these things being within arms reach of the checkout counter and comedy section. You couldn’t miss them.

Two titles immediately lept from the shelf. "Black Booty" – a parody of the children’s film Black Beauty – and "Wednesday is Humpday." I don’t think that second one was parodying anything specific, but the title was so unintentionally hilarious, it became a catchphrase of sorts for the remainder of our college career.

"Hey, what day is it?"

"Wednesday is Humpday!"

Oh, how we laughed!

I’ll be back later in the day to annouce a VERY COOL CONTEST. So make sure to visit us later to find out how you can participate!

CONTEST

Sorry for the delay getting this posted to the site. I hope I didn’t leave too many of you in breathless anticipation. But at any rate…

Follow this link to learn more about Theater Hopper’s very first contest. A promotional DVD give-away in conjunction with Anchor Bay Entertainment. Five lucky winners will walk away with a copy of 1980’s The Long Good Friday. (available on DVD for the first time Tuesday, April 4) starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren.

This is a bit of a cult film, but it’s really good – I assure you. I watched it over the weekend and it reminds me a lot of other "across the pond" gangland flicks like Snatch. And honestly, when has Bob Hoskins ever been bad in anything? He was even good in The Super Mario Bros. Movie!

Entering the contest couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is send me an e-mail and winners will be chosen at random.

For more details on contest rules and participation, click here.  You can also read a synopsis on the film and forthcoming DVD as well as view the trailer and exclusive video clips!

You can expect me to make a little bit more noise about this in the coming days…

GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!
