And if you look at how messed up folks like that really are underneath - I would say that I am probably better off for it.
In no way would I find an offer like this offensive, and would kindly appreciate and decline it, or even toy with them and pretend to want more money... but offended ?
For the love of mercy, why ?
And yes, I felt YOU deserved a response, cause you seem to have a legit gripe - most of the rest of em really don't care for having the same thing they love dishin out fed back to them, do they ?
If finding a woman sexually attractive is a damning offense, we're all goin to hell, I tellya.

I have no problem with sex or pornography (or prostitution), I assure you. If I thought this offer had been made in good faith, neither would I have a problem with it. If it had been made to a figure less obviously not interested, that is.
(And, btw. when I said "kink" I didn't mean it in a derrogatory way, either. I can perfectly see why Palin is attractive. She looks great!)
My point of contention was that the offer was playing with the negative attitudes about sex and pornography in society and ignoring what would obviously BE Palin's reaction. It wasn't trying to be positive about anything. In the manner with which it was made, it is obvious to me that it was intended as an insult to her. It's the spirit and manner of the action I find offensive.
Edited for typo and to thank you for taking the time to respond.

Glad you upset one of your friends. Word of advice: before you post such a stupid thread, think about consequences.

It's not MY problem if folks fear their own sexuality, or are so damned uptight they can't appreciate humor that doesn't fit in with their own petty preconcieved notions of what the world should be like, Oppy.
You sound like someone desperately in need of a close encounter with a couple quaaludes, dood.
Seriously, chill, before your head explodes.

I'm not uptight. I like Sarah Palin. So much so, that I voted for McCain. She's out of the spotlight now, and she's still getting ripped apart. It's not fair I tell ya!

Except that she's not content to STAY out of the spotlight. She's sticking her face in front of the cameras more now than she did before the election!

Cmon guys, with turning her into a sexual object. Is this what happens when an acceptably attractive woman dares to run for office? She becomes fair game for stag banter?
Her politics makes me vomit, but she doesn't deserve this. She's somebody's mom, ya know?
And speaking of motherhood, being a good mom is an exceptionally important job for which Sarah Palin is eminently qualified outside of porn.

MSNBC Retracts False Palin Story; Others Duped
Network runs correction on air after reporting an adviser to John McCain had identified himself as the source of an embarrassing story about Sarah Palin, information stemming from a hoax.
AP
Thursday, November 13, 2008
NEW YORK -- MSNBC was the victim of a hoax when it reported that an adviser to John McCain had identified himself as the source of an embarrassing story about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the network said Wednesday.
David Shuster, an anchor for the cable news network, said on air Monday that Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, had come forth and identified himself as the source of a FOX News Channel story saying Palin had mistakenly believed Africa was a country instead of a continent.
Eisenstadt identifies himself on a blog as a senior fellow at the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy. Yet neither he nor the institute exist; each is part of a hoax dreamed up by a filmmaker named Eitan Gorlin and his partner, Dan Mirvish, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The Eisenstadt claim had mistakenly been delivered to Shuster by a producer and was used in a political discussion Monday afternoon, MSNBC said.
"The story was not properly vetted and should not have made air," said Jeremy Gaines, network spokesman. "We recognized the error almost immediately and ran a correction on air within minutes."
Gaines told the Times that someone in the network's newsroom had presumed the information solid because it was passed along in an e-mail from a colleague.
The hoax was limited to the identity of the source in the story about Palin -- not the FOX News story itself. While Palin has denied that she mistook Africa for a country, the veracity of that report was not put in question by the revelation that Eisenstadt is a phony.
Eisenstadt's "work" had been quoted and debunked before. The Huffington Post said it had cited Eisenstadt in July on a story regarding the Hilton family and McCain.
Among the other victims were political blogs for the Los Angeles Times and The New Republic, each of which referenced false material from Eisenstadt's blog.
And in July, Jonathan Stein of Mother Jones magazine blogged an item about Eisenstadt speaking on Iraqi television about a casino in Baghdad's "Green Zone."
Stein later realized he'd been had.
"Kudos to the inventor of this whole thing," Stein wrote. "My only consolation is that if I had as much time on my hands as he clearly does, I probably would have figured this out and saved myself a fair amount of embarrassment."

Ironic, innit - and no one can blame those evil democrats for it given that it was a McCain staffer and "Faux news" that reported it, ehe ?
Anyone payin attention might have noticed I got a beef with news sources endlessly copy/pasting each others stories or someone's press releases instead of actually spending the time and effort to investigate and report themselves, yes ?
And THIS, is why - anyone with access can slip in a bogus story (something the OSP played upon heavily not long ago) and unless someone DOES pay attention, DOES investigate and attempt to verify, no one is ever gonna be the wiser, I've done it myself twice on non consequential "human interest" crap just to prove it to local students interested in journalism.
People are far too forgiving of the crap the mainstream media sells, very little of it is even vetted, much less investigated or muckraked anymore, which makes it pathetically easy to blow the lies to powder cause they don't even plant a decent backtrail anymore, why bother if no one's even gonna look for one ?
That's why you DON'T give em a free pass, folks.
Snark aside, thanks for the headsup here, RL, but if any of you folks had DONE YOUR HOMEWORK, you'd have known this claim was bogus like... four days ago, mind.
Let that be a lesson to ya.
Oh, and I *still* completely fail to see the insult in being offered a starring role in porn, frankly, I don't think I'm capable of even understanding WHY someone would be insulted, guess I lack the mental aberrations that would require... oh well.
