HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Bill Cosby's got his fair share of legal problems, but one man's misery can be another man's marketing opportunity. On October 20, X-Play finally releases the DVD of Will Ryder's latest X-rated take on Bill Cosby with new bits by impersonator Thomas Ward that spoof the sitcom star's newfound infamy.
Called Not Bill Cosby XXX: Puddin' My Dick Where it Don't Belong, the sex flick features Ward as Cosby in a series of television interviews with a news reporter delving into the sexual assault allegations levied by numerous women.
Check out some of the footage from the new release in a trailer up now on YouTube.com.
The DVD will be released via Pulse Distribution. Ryder reports that with Bill Cosby making big news, Not Bill Cosby XXX: Puddin' My Dick Where it Don't Belong is getting strong DVD orders.
"Bill Cosby is an iconic American figure, so this is really a huge story and there seems no end to the parade of beautiful women coming forward with their personal stories," Ryder remarked.
"I hope moms use this as a teaching moment for their daughters and let them know there's probably nothing good coming from jumping on a rap or rock music tour bus following a concert at one in the morning or visiting your favorite actor late at night in his hotel room," he added.
Ryder emphasizes that X-Play is not assuming or stating that Cosby is guilty of any crime associated with the public accusations levied against him. "We are only creating a humorous parody of his life and that of his TV show because that's what we do." And X-Play further notes, in CYA mode, the parody "is funny as hell but it is not endorsed, sponsored or created by Bill Cosby, NBC Television, Carsey-Werner Productions, Viacom Enterprises, Paramount Domestic Television, or any of their distributors, actors, producers, writers or their assignees."
