When David Petraeus’s affair with biographer Paula Broadwell went public last November, Hustler decided to create a ripped-from-the-headlines porn parody. It’s out now on DVD: The General Goes All In, starring Evan Stone as the general and Kimberly Kane as the biographer.
The title is a play on Broadwell’s bestselling book All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, which became the subject of jokes once the affair was revealed.
Here’s the problem with ripped-from-the-headlines dirty jokes. Photochopping a book cover takes five minutes, and you can post it while the tabloid scandal is raging. If you’re lucky, some dimwitted TV news producer will actually use your photochop on air. But creating a feature-length porn parody takes too long. The Petraeus-Broadwell scandal feels like ancient history now.
