William walked over to the television and pulled out a DVD from a shelf. He opened the package, closed it again and held it up for the rest of the group to see the cover. It pictured a man dressed in a corduroy jacket with elbow patches and nothing else.
“What?” asked Oleander incredulously.
“No one is judging you, honey,” said Mrs. Claus.
“I don’t care about that. Judge away. But I have never seen that before,” said Oleander.
William read aloud from the cover, “The Naughty Professor. The Mighty Mitch McConnell stars as the hot man on campus with a taste for young boys.”
Leroy and Goldie broke out in a laughing fit.
“Isn’t that the Senator dude?” asked Don Julio.
“Is he into boys?” asked Mr. Claus.
Mrs. Claus shook her head and reached over for the DVD cover.
“It’s all legal and consensual,” said Rufus.
“Somehow I doubt it. Senator McConnell has likely never looked like this and statistically speaking the chances that he is equipped like that are not high,” said Mrs. Claus.
“Okay, so I took some liberties in portraying him. But no one got hurt. It’s just a video,” said Rufus.
“Why?” asked Mrs. Claus.
“You’d be surprised what types of groups are out there and how much money there is in playful stories about what could be. And deepfake brings their fantasies to life,” said Rufus.
“Who fantasizes about some stodgy politician as a naughty professor hung like a horse?” asked Mr. Claus.
“His wife,” said Goldie and laughed.
Leroy laughed with her.
“Alright, Mr. Sherbert, where are the rest of these?” asked Mrs. Claus.
“Half of them are in Kentucky and the rest are in a storage shed,” said Rufus.
“So we went through all of that for some porn video?” asked Mr. Claus.
“At least no one got hurt,” said Paloma.
“Except for the man’s wife. She’s now wondering about what could have been,” said Goldie with a smile.
