Need some humor in your week? Check out Funny or Die’s new “Republicans, Get in My Vagina!” video, starring Kate Beckinsale, Andrea Savage, and Judy Greer. A plea from the “real Republican real women of real America” to all women to “open up their legs and let the government in,” this parody cheerfully skewers the idea that the government knows what’s best for women. And the inclusion of a staggeringly stupid quote from Pennsylvania politician Stephen Friend, involving his own special brand of reproductive theory, just serves to underscore the idiocy that is anti-choice politicians making decisions about women’s bodies.

Thanks so much for sharing!!! I was first introduced to Funny or Die last year when they did the “Dear Woman” parody. I love the way they use humor to explore, comment on, and criticize gender issues in our society. Its gratifying to see us feminist bloggers are not the only ones fed up with the way women are being treated by the establishment.
