Catty Bitches

Several popular female comedians are appearing in this month's issue of Vanity Fair, sending up the great celebrity walking disasters of their gender. Some notables include Jenna Fischer doing her best Lindsay Lohan, and Sarah Silverman doing a frighteningly accurate Amy Winehouse. Others appearing include Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Wanda Sykes. The accompanying article focuses on how female comedy is far different than that of their male counterparts because the "industry" has placed an emphasis on attractive women, and molds the material of said genre to be sexually oriented.

Fair enough. I'll admit most popular female comedians are attractive, or at least marginally so (save Wanda Yikes... ), but if female comedy is completely based around sex, then someone explain to me why Tina Fey doesn't perform her bits while having graphic, almost uncomfortable-to-watch intercourse on stage. You heard me. At the very least, flash some nip. You know, something! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can sense your rolling eyes and heckling jabs already... but what you fail to realize is that I am completely serious. When is someone going to get Sarah Silverman and Tina Fey together, so I can scream "kiss!... c'mon... do it! do it! do it!" at my television screen like a caveman. Fire! Fire! Fire, good! Lesbians, better! etc. etc. etc.


Holy Shit! Third picture... they heard me... Uh-oh, Vanity Fair can read my thoughts.
