It was one thing when SNL's Tina Fey did Sarah Palin (very well), but quite another thing when Eminem takes on the Alaska governor (not suitable for viewing here.)
The crass rapper known for misogyny, not to mention bad taste, has issued a debut music video dubbed "We Made You," showcasing a single from his forthcoming "Relapse" album.
The relapse in question isn't terribly subtle in the song that spoofs the "rock stars'' of our times, Jessica Simpson and her weight challenges, Lindsay Lohan's and Samantha Ronson's fractured relationship, Sarah Palin's candidacy for vice president, the sagas of Ellen DeGeneres, Jessica Alba and others.
"When you walked through the door, it was clear to me... You're the one they adore, who they came to see.. You're a rock star, everybody wants you," the chorus goes, sung to a Dr. Dre rhythm.
Eminem plays out his own fantasies, portraying singer John Mayer crooning to a smitten actress Jennifer Aniston, and the woman who plays Palin apparently is the same one featured in a porn-video produced during the 2008 campaign.
The YouTube video of the Eminem production spoofing Palin and others is disabled for embedding here and elsewhere, and that's probably a good thing.

I personally see nothing wrong with mocking celebritys. It goes with the territory.
Forcing them to deal with the papparazzi on the other hand...
