WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In what critics are calling a desperate attempt to draw the medias attention away from Donald Trump, the other fifteen candidates for the Republican nomination have released a joint sex tape.
The tape, including such luminaries as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Texas senator Ted Cruz, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and New Jersey governor Chris Christie, appeared briefly on major news Web sites before an avalanche of viewer revulsion demanded it be taken down.
According to Carol Foyler, a viewer who happened to catch the tape during its brief appearance on the CNN Web site, the video contained images I may never be able to get out of my mind.
I couldnt believe that these people would participate in such a thing, she said. Except maybe Santorum.
A spokesman for Rick Perry defended the former Texas governors appearance on the tape. It changed the conversation, at least for a minute or two, the spokesman said.
Possibly as a result of his exclusion from the sex tape, in the aftermath of its release Trump has surged another eleven points in the latest poll.
