Update: Controversy Over Bill Cosby X-Rated Parody on Sex Abuse Scandal

[JamesG]

Director Will Ryder has offered Tom Ward the chance to reprise his role as Dr. Cliff Huxtable/Bill Cosby in the soon-to-be released Not the Cosbys XXX: Puddin' My Dick Where it Don't Belong.

The movie will tackle the dozens of accusations thrown towards Bill Cosby by an assortment of women all while maintaining his fatherly role as American's favorite dad.

The movie will be available on VOD but will first be released on DVD by X-Play March 3 via Pulse Distribution.





The Detroit-born actor/director and funny man is America's number one impersonator of Bill Cosby and fans of adult entertainment will remember his spot-on portrayal of Cliff Huxtable in Not the Cosbys XXX.

"I have a lot of fun imitating Bill Cosby, but nothing was as crazy as playing Cliff Huxtable in Not the Cosbys XXX — and now I get to open for Eddie Griffin in Vegas. I love my life because this **** is fun and Eddie is wildly funny and we're having a blast at the Rio," Ward said as he prepped for his first show.





Thomas Ward has been selected as the opening act on the Las Vegas bill of comedian Eddie Griffin, now playing at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

The show starts each night 7 PM with Ward hitting the stage and revving up the audience for Griffin. The attendees are pre-warned to expect a show that is "not for the faint of heart."

Tickets start at $71.50 and can be purchased at TicketMaster or from the Rio website, and run from Sunday to Thursday. The show is dark Friday and Saturdays and nobody under the age of 18 is allowed to attend.

Controversy Over Bill Cosby X-Rated Parody
Feb 25th, 2015
by Mark Kernes


X-rated director Will Ryder has a knack for taking people and events in the news and creating satirical XXX-rated movies around them — and his latest offering is raising the blood pressure of a few of the Usual Suspects.

"Will Ryder had already made two Cosby Show-inspired porn films," noted Theo Merz of UK's The Telegraph, "but this one, which sought to turn women’s alleged trauma into a masturbatory aid, crossed a line...

But when did this trend, for spoofing films and current events in adult films, emerge? Can it continue, or will the more distasteful of the examples above stain the whole genre (further than it already is, in its current splattered state)?"





Jenny Kutner on Salon.com commented:

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: rape isn't funny. Sexual assault is not a situation that deserves to be taken lightly, nor is it one that needs to be; it already isn’t taken seriously enough.

But there are those who would disagree with me — specifically one hilarious garbage human adult film director, who has decided the allegations that Bill Cosby drugged and raped nearly two dozen women might make for some inspired porn.

To portray fantasies about nonconsensual sex in porn is one thing, but to actively attempt to make light of real women's stories of sexual violation for profit and for fun is another thing entirely. It's something that should probably make us rethink what it means for humanity when that Internet adage — 'if something exists, someone will make a porn out of it' — rings so sickly true."





The Daily Dot's EJ Dickson also picks up on "Rule 34" to bash Ryder's effort, claiming that:

"It seems both impossible and unwise to attempt to bring levity to a 'situation' that involves more than 20 women saying they were drugged and sexually assaulted.

Nonetheless, basic decency having eluded him, Ryder produced Puddin' My Dick Where It Don't Belong, the third movie in the Not the Cosbys XXX trilogy. Detroit comedian Thomas Ward, who bears a striking resemblance to Cosby, plays the actor-turned-alleged-rapist.

It's unclear if Puddin' My Dick Where It Don't Belong will actually attempt to recreate the sexual assault allegations against Cosby, or if it'll just ruin your childhood by showing Theo and Denise having a threeway with Cockroach.

Either way, it wouldn't be the first time that porn tried to stay relevant by ripping a story from the headlines to utterly tasteless effect. ... Memo to porn directors: Lay off the insulting attempts at social commentary and stick to 10-minute, narrative-free blowjob clips instead."





We called Ryder's attention to The Telegraph's article, and he had a few choice words on the subject of satire, parody... and cluelessness:

"I think it quite odd that this UK writer as well as a number of others, including the great and talented Monica Foster, opine that just because I have a new Cosby movie coming out called Puddin' My Dick Where it Don't Belong that it immediately is a put-down to the women that allegedly have suffered under the spell (and spiced rum) of Bill Cosby.

Could it be possible that I am making fun of Bill Cosby and going as far as defending the women to some degree? Of course it is not possible in their eyes because I am a filthy pornographer that knows nothing other than to hit the lowest common denominator rather than turn the tables on a once-highly regarded cultural icon and put a sharp elbow in his rib.

I was looking for a Manson reference in the story but it never went there but I am flattered that the writer spelled my name correctly."
