From beautiful Canoga Park, California comes this timely release about the coming together of current events and, well, porn. I mean--it's Canoga Park, after all. In what we would surely hail the "Press Release of the Day" if we were to do such a thing comes word from Hustler that "This Ain’t Bin Laden XXX" is coming to DVD this summer. Get out the lube! (Okay, that last part was our addition.)Says Hustler:
During this period of history where we seem to be in a state of perpetual war, nothing adds a little levity to a tense situation better than one of Hustler Video’s artfully crafted and expertly written parodies. With the recent death of one of the world’s most abhorred terrorist leaders behind us, Hustler Video is pleased to announce its next big political parody, This Ain’t Bin Laden XXX. “Oh yeah, we’re going there,” commented the Director of Operations for Hustler Video. “We’re pretty sure from what we’ve heard that Bin Laden was a big fan of Hustler. He was looking at porn, now porn is looking at him. See, it all comes full circle.”
