If I tried "Secretly Become Mysterious Woman from Past Era," it would probably just end up like this:

He's actually Tamil, or at least speaks the language. I remember an old bit where he talked about trying to impress M.I.A. with that fact.

Wikipedia states that the Ansaris are thought to have descended from a Hindu weaving cast. That is the extent of the amount of research I am going to commit to this. That being said, having ancestor thousands of years ago doesn't make the "brown face" okay.

Where does it matter where Aziz was born? The point is they darkened her skin with makeup to make her appear to be a different ethnicity for comedic effect, something decidedly frowned upon due to the history of minstrel shows. It would still be offensive if I, someone of northwest Indian origin, darkened my skin…

It was very accurate, but could have done without the brown face.

Whatis this little bump???

I don't quite get why some people are getting pissy with the article....it's a joke dudes, chill out.

But the Mary Louise Parker was pretty convincing.

"The Night of the Badger" was much more interesting in my mind.

So...like...none of the greys get that this is satire? Seriously dudes...I don't give a crap what makes your dick happy. Not About You.

If only. It was twilight fanfiction in the beginning, just like that series by CassandraClaire was Potter fanfiction originally. The author changed the characters and premise in order to get a book deal. Simple as that. Writing that bad isn't clever parody, it's just effing bad.

I feel like this was an easy slam dunk of a sketch and they somehow completely blew it. The Emma Stone impersonation was simply awful by the way.

I'm going to invoke the reverse Poe's law on that one: A sincere declaration of a crazy opinion is indistinguishable from satire.

Uh, I don't think it was a satire. It was a (poorly written) twilight fan fiction that got picked up by the mainstream. Also, Christian Grey in the books is 28. Hardly an old man. It's like having Zuckerburg spank you

It's interesting that you're assuming you can poop at all.

For the Be A Perfect Girlfriend for 365 Days — question — can I poop in my house?

YES!

Ugh... he's like a creepy, confused version of Carson Kressley. The guy in the parody almost nails him.

I prefer the open hearts necklace from Kay

This clip articulates exactly what bothered me so much about the "300 sandwiches" debacle: namely, that my distaste wasn't so much with the retrograde sexual politics on display but the fact that the couple was obviously playing on the controversy in order to get a book deal. It's "365 Days of Modesty" all over…
