Eva Longoria Sex Video Satire Causes Chaos On The Internet

“Desperate Housewives” star, Eva Longoria, stars in a new sex tape. Nevertheless, the pint-sized actress was doing what she does best in it, acting. The one-minute tape features her and actor, Eric Christian Olsen, in green night vision spoofing Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon.
The tape first “revealed” on Will Ferrell’s comedic site, www.funnyordie.com, which was the first indication it was spoof. The website is best known for Ferrell’s infamous “The Landlord” segment.

“Are you sure we should be doing this?” asks Longoria as Olsen replies, “Don’t worry baby, I’m going to put it some place safe like the glove box in my car. You need a key to get in there.” At one point, Olsen (who goes by the name “Perry Hilton” throughout the taping) does push-ups on the bed as Longoria sits on top him reading a magazine. They even reenact flying as he holds the “Desperate Housewife” up in a flying position with his feet.

Yet, many adult sites are claiming they in truth have a real Eva Longoria sex tape. According to Daily News, Eva Longoria’s spokesperson said, “We find it humorous that Web sites are claiming to have this tape. There is no sex tape out there. This was meant to be funny and done with that intention only.”

And while Eva Longoria and “Desperate Housewives” have nothing to be sorry for, the show did have to ask for forgiveness over a not related event. “Housewives” has been hit by accusations of prejudice after the first episode of the series aired on ABC. In a scene where Susan, played by Terri Hatcher, visits the gynecologist she questions the doctor’s integrity by asking: “Can I check those diplomas because I want to make sure they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.”

Almost instantly the station was swamped with objections and Filipinos started a online appeal against the show. Even politicians waded in on the discussion. Senator Ramon Revilla said: “The makers of Desperate Housewives should formally and publicly express their apology in the very next episode.”

ABC has issued an request for forgiveness, saying: “offers its sincere apologies for any offence caused by the brief reference in the season premiere.”
