ABC star in 'Obama sex scene' row
Daily Telegraph ^ | 7th October 2009

ABC comedy is again in trouble over taste after a new TV show featured star host John Safran acting out a sex scene to an image of US President Barack Obama.

'John Safran's Race Relations' shows the skit involving the presenter simulating a sex scene to an image of US President Barack Obama.

The segment in the first episode of the show depicts Safran masturbating to President Obama inside a Palestinian sperm bank, and also encourages a Palestinian film crew member to do the same inside an Israeli sperm bank.

ABC in this case is the (government-owned, taxpayer funded) Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

John Safran is Jewish (culturally - I don't believe he's particularly religious) and his work tends to involve attacking cultural taboos - yes, it's offensive at times in my view, but I'm wondering if the point of this sketch is one I might actually agree with - that Obama's views give comfort to certain anti-Jewish groups.

Obama must love this as it feeds his narcissistic supply.

I’m sure CNN will “fact check” it and determine that the depiction was completely false.

Did Safran have Michael Jackson’s Beat It song on during the skit

I see things in Australia have deteriorated to the same degree as in the U.S.
