13. K&R. "...reality right now just sucks so hard..."
A very thoughtful piece about the humor-deficient Right.

On another note Plaid, remember that the male correspondents have also had their sexualized characters as well. Rob Corrdry fantasizing about doing a monkey, offering BJ's to get into a restricted area, and his general willingness--nay, compulsion--to do just about any ol' sexual thing within reach.

Jason Jones' character likewise has a multitude of boundary issues.

I think B might be the first female character over the years on TDS to have been so heavily sexualized.

I don't know how much this matters to the point about sexism you make, it's just an observation. Samantha's character is at least in full charge of her super-charged sexuality.

I think the kinks in some of the characters may likewise be a commentary on the whole world of aggressive, sexualized Hollywood-esque news-people we now find ourselves saddled with in the media.
