She’s Carbonating the Fetu—Er, Blob of Cells!

The best part about Barack Obama’s recent snobbery has been the Leftist acclaim. You might have missed it, but there are plenty of websites where commenters are thrilled to have a Presidential candidate finally tell the hard truth about all those embittered gun-owning religious folk.
It’s certainly no surprise that a lot of those commenters are at film sites of a Leftist bent. Those same film sites will probably be raving about
Baby Mama, which is an upcoming comedy from Tina Fey—whose
30 Rock sitcom is one of NBC’s more reliable bastions of irrational fear of conservatives. That same attitude is nicely summed up in the main promotional image for
Baby Mama, which showed up in our mailbox on a screening invitation that we’ll have to decline. (We’ll be out of town on vacation next week; sorry to just blurt out the bad news like that.)
Baby Mama is about a successful executive (Tina Fey) who’s about to receive a child from a surrogate mother who’s simply the wrong type of person. You probably can't read the print on the graphic above, but here’s what it says: “Would you put your eggs…in this basket?”
The “basket” refers to Amy Poehler as the trashy mother—except Poehler is looking cute and perky with her high cheekbones and blonde hair and blue eyes. What’s supposed to be so trashy about her, anyway?
You’re not looking closely enough. Poehler’s character is clearly sipping a drink out of some kind of supersized cup from a fast-food restaurant. It’s probably a carbonated drink. That’s disgusting. The only good news is that maybe there’ll be a touching moment in
Baby Mama where we actually learn that we shouldn’t be judgmental about anybody, and that we can all gain from each other’s experience and insights. The critics will love that—unless Poehler’s character is a Republican.
