    Cosby Show remake

    Some things in life should never be touched. I feel that way about classic beats, rhymes and shows! Which brings me to the photo above; Not the Cosby Show XXX. Now I am all for making a paraody of shows or paying homage. But this steps past those lines and just creats an all assult on such a classic show. Now don’t think I am a ***** because usually I am down for spins on old concepts. But the Cosby Show is just one of those things that should just be left alone.

    I could have been down with them doing a spin off of A Different World. But the Cosby Show…… That show is just too classic and does not sit right in my stomach. Amongst all the BS out there on television they chose that show to paraody into a porn? I wonder who was in that think tank session? Some things are just sacred, I am sure if somebody ran a paraody on one of their sites they would be screaming bloody murder and have the hounds ready to attack!

    The cast: Tyler Knight as Theo, Misty Stone as Lisa, Monica Foster as Claire, Cassidy Clay as Sondra, Nina Devan as Rudy and Melody Narai as Vanessa and a actor who has not yet chosen his porn name as Cliff. Tee Reel plays Cockroach from the show as well.


    Now I am not saying to boycott this video, but I know I will not be purchasing nor downloading this joint. I can support buffonery like this. Yep, I am calling it out! It’s some bull**** and hard to believe that the people who signed up for this agreed to it. I wonder if the economy was better would they agree to make this video? Next thing you know they will be making videos of Minstrel Shows and saying we just trying to make it funny and add some sex in the mix.

    When this hits the mainstream, you know the **** is going to hit the fan and there are going to be a lot of angry people out there. And you know damn well Bill Cosby not having it. Say what you want about that dude, but in my book he has that stand up character that all of us could benefit from! There is a such thing as Defamation of Character, and I am damn sure the real actors of that show did not have this in mind all these years later.

    We used to paraody dead people, but now it seems we hunting the living now as well! I’m done… F- this ****!!!!

    Does the author really think people in the porn industry have a sense of right & wrong? This is the industry that caters to the worst of humanity.

      The only good thing that can come out of this is finding out what kind of face and sound Bill Cosby makes when having an orgasm.

      We all know Bill makes some funny faces.

          I'd rather them do a spoof porn then an actual remake of the show. That would be the bigger joke.

              It's porn.

              It's not that big a deal.

                hahahaha... so I'm a terrible person for watching porn?


                And I think this is a complete overreaction. It's porn. C'mon. Would you expect anything less? They make parodies of EVERYTHING. Hell, they make parodies OF PARODIES (see "Space Nuts").

                Get over it.

                  Wait the text referred to a pic. I wanted to see that! You could've at least put up the link and said NSFW.

                  Ah well, on the one hand it's only porn but still that's a gross defamation of character as the Cosby Show was borne out of Cosby's views on parenting and black family life. I can see a lawsuit if Cosby or one of the people involved in the production of the show (Carssey-Werner) were to get wind of this.

                    It isn't defamation of character, it would fall under Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, 485 US 46 (1988).

                      Well our Legal Beagle shot down that notion then. Is there any plausible scenario for a lawsuit then?

                        Copyright infringement of character names if they use the same names, such as Cliff Huxtable would seem to be a possibility that would seem worthwhile to pursue, but if AHolbert finds this thread he'd know much better than I would. The thing is Robot Chicken gets away with the same thing on a weekly basis, so that avenue is probably a dead end too. I suppose Bill Cosby could fight this back up to the Supreme Court, but I don't see the current court reducing any First Amendment protections.

                            He cant sue. The show is considered a parody and is permitted under copyright law.

                              None at all. No defamation. No invasion of privacy. No violation of publicity rights. That doesnt mean he wont sue. It just means he doesnt have a strong case.
