Hustler publishes fake photo of oral sex act

[druidp]

Keepin' it klassy, Hustler. Expect no less from a publication routinely belittling and objectifying women into something no better than a sexual tool.

Hustler publishes fake explicit photo of S.E. Cupp, sparking criticism
By Dylan Stableford | The Cutline – 6 hrs ago


S.E. Cupp (GBTV)
Hustler magazine is facing some criticism after publishing a digitally altered image that depicts S.E. Cupp, a conservative talk show host for Glenn Beck's GBTV, engaged in an oral sex act.

The magazine included a disclaimer with the photo, under the headline "Celebrity Fantasy," that reads:

No such picture of S.E. Cupp actually exists. This composite fantasy is altered from the original for our imagination, does not depict reality, and is not to be taken seriously for any purpose.

The adjacent text explains Hustler's rationale for publishing the image:

S.E. Cupp is a lovely young lady who read too much Ayn Rand in high school and ended up joining the dark side. Cupp, an author and media commentator who often shows up on Fox News programs, is undeniably cute. But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood. Perhaps the method pictured here is Ms. Cupp's suggestion for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.

"I've covered a lot of this misogyny, whether it was Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin," Cupp said on Glenn Beck's radio show on Wednesday. "But I've never seen anything this disturbing and graphic."

"It's a doctored photo, so it's not like I'm embarrassed because I performed this act and they caught it on film," Cupp continued. "It's embarrassing because, as you said, it will be out there forever. The fact that I work really hard, and am an Ivy League educated young woman with a pretty good job doesn't really matter when you look at a photo like this."

Cupp and Beck wondered aloud why the liberal media had not condemned Hustler for the stunt.

"You have to wonder if they had done this to somebody like Nancy Pelosi or Michelle Obama, would that stand?" Cupp said. "Would no one make a stink about it? I have to think they would."

"Where's NOW?" Beck said, referring to the National Organization of Women, which led protests against Rush Limbaugh when the conservative firebrand called Georgetown Law student and contraception advocate Sandra Fluke a "slut" earlier this year.
"The outrage of Sandra Fluke will not be matched on my side," Cupp said. "It seems that feminism has devolved into an institution that has picked losers and winners and has decided that some women qualify for respect and other women do not."

Fluke, though, called Hustler's depiction of Cupp "offensive," adding on Twitter: "Sexualization of female public [figures] attempts to limit them to being sexual figures and [nothing] more."

Planned Parenthood also tweeted its support of Cupp.

"Sexist attacks made against women like [Fluke] and recently [Cupp] are disgraceful and cannot be tolerated," the group wrote.

"It's uncomfortable," Cupp said. "I'm not in this business to talk about myself, I'm not in this business to talk about my character. I'd much rather be talking about Obama's economic record or his foreign policy than myself and having to defend myself against [this photo]."

She added: "Frankly, I wish that these media entities that perform this kind of misogyny would just come out and do what Hustler did, instead of beating around the bush and pretending to be fair, pretending to be above that. They're not above that. This is exactly what they do every single time."

Oh yeah, Hustler. The best way to fight misogyny is by being extra misogynist in return, amiright??

They do this every month. They seem pretty equal opportunity to me.

Aren't there altered photos of just about everyone on the interwebz? Being outraged that Hustler is Hustler is...I dunno, about as silly as expecting men who read Hustler to be interested in your Ivy League diploma. Ain't gonna happen.

Really? I wonder why it's making news now, then.

Probably because it's a good opportunity to accuse the left (with which Glenn Beck fans would no doubt associate Larry Flynt) of engaging in a "war on women."

[overture]

Don't get me wrong, I don't buy that Hustler is using her image because they want to highlight women's issues. Or that this regular feature isn't demeaning to women. But they've done this with countless female celebrities, and I don't really see why she thinks she's above being targeted. She's an attractive woman in the media. Attractive women in the media are the regular subject of this "what would ____ look like with a dick in her mouth" thing.

Because it's SE Cupp. She likes to make herself the poor-me conservative victim.
