Lena Dunham unhappy over Girls porn parody

You know you’re a success when you get a porn parody.

Girls creator Lena Dunham is unhappy that her series has become the basis for a porn film by Hustler, “This Ain’t Girls XXX.”

Dunham tweeted her disdain: “I wish I had a better attitude about the Girls porn parody. I really can never predict what will trouble me and it’s simply exhausting.”

She went on to explain her feelings, writing, “1. Because Girls is, at its core, a feminist action while Hustler is a company that markets and monetizes a male’s idea of female sexuality.

“2. Because a big reason I engage in (simulated) onscreen sex is to counteract a skewed idea of that act created by the proliferation of porn.

“3. Because it grosses me out.”

It’s fair to say that Dunham’s naked appearances on Girls have been a rare step towards debunking stereotypes about when women should or shouldn’t be naked on screen. Being so candid with her appearance has been a sign of strength.

Girls is not alone in getting the parody treatment. Hustler has also turned out Not The Bradys XXX, Not the Cosbys, Not Three’s Company, The Simpsons: The XXX Parody, This Ain’t the Smurfs XXX and This Ain’t Saved by the Bell XXX.
