Yowza! Don't vote for Republicans, they want to put gay erotica inside your mailbox whether you asked for it or not.

Holy hell. That is completely batshit insane.

So that's how they plan to "save the Eric County Republican Party"? Good luck with that.

My favorite part was the address side of the mailer: "Make sure your son says "Thank You, Mark Grisanti!""

So are they implying, to the Republitard recipient, that their son has just been waiting around for this guy to get elected so they can start having the hot gay sex that is illustrated in the flyer?

I can barely believe this is even real...

@4: well, it's SLIGHTLY unreal, in that it's not "Eric" county, but "Erie" county, which includes Buffalo (where I grew up in the dim and distant past). Maybe that sheds some light on the matter; I dunno.

They can't have licensed those images. Doesn't it sound like the copyright holder has a pretty good cause of action against them?

Wait, so whom should I vote for to get some of that gay porn in the mail?

@6

Oh man. "Gay porn studio sues Republican PAC over unlicensed distribution of erotic materials." That would be the best headline ever.

Zebes, Brian, @6 and @8, we need to make this happen.

@6,

I thought that as well. But even those goofballs can't be that stupid (was my thought process anyway) leading me to wonder if those are a couple of the candidates staffers that agreed to "pose"? Which would be just as funny, in my humble humble anyway.

@10 - Sure they can be that stupid. If only we knew who "they" were. If the images are properly licensed, it should be easy enough to find out who owns the images, and hence, who licensed them. If they are stolen, well then, when the source of the fliers is discovered, we'll have that headline.

There's an update which suggests the mailer might be the work of some freak named Matthew Ricchiazzi.

I'm not gay, but I'll say those boys are pretty hot. Right? If they're going to send out gay erotica, at least it's good gay erotica.

But yeah, it's understood that Republicans *never* support gay anything, almost by definition. The fact that these New York State Republicans did is sort of unexpectedly ground breaking and it would send out a strong message if their careers survived it.

Obama fails to support gay marriage until after North Carolina outlaws it, Democrats like Barbara Mikulski, now the longest serving Congresswoman, remain in the closet, and the GOP does crap like this. That's why I vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and why I am running as a Libertarian for Congress.

No one ever sends me political spam with pictures as sexy as those ones. I must be on the wrong mailing lists.

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I don't recognize the models in that flyer. Given the number of porn blogs that pass beneath my scroll wheel, I expected to at least be able to give their current noms de porn.

Time to up my game!

@5 yeah, it does shed some light on the matter. I was just quoting the name as it is written in the post, and the linked article, and assumed that it was some backwoods rural county. Now I'm even more surprised that they would so stupid as to send out those mailers in an even remotely urban area.

Umm, any evidence at all that this was mailed, let alone by anyone connected by the Republican Party?

Time for updates and retractions. Seriously.

They look Bel Ami-ish (not "Amish", mind you), to me.

Newest update:
As speculated, the photographs are stills from gay porn company Corbin Fisher, as reported at The Sword.

I don't believe it - I found the sources of both images in less than 5 minutes. I captured both images and plugged them into Google's Image Search page and got a match in the first page of results for each. Image search technology has come a long way.

Here are the image sources I found:
http://www.waybig.com/blog/2011/08/30/co…
http://www.waybig.com/blog/2011/11/22/co…

Now we need to see if Corbin Fisher licensed the images or if they were used without permission.

Having grown up in the Buffalo area, I can't say I'm surprised. There's a good reason I don't live there anymore.

Ekssssssellent, @21. Corbin Fisher and attorney Marc Randazza (for parent company Liberty Media) are highly protective of their stock-in-trade (trade-in-stock?). I doubt if it's actionable if the flyers were never actually sent, though.

Wow! If that's what gay marriage looks like in Buffalo, I'm moving there tonight.
