Hollywood Scientists Discover Cure for Sapphism
Hollywood scientists today have announced that they have found a cure for
sapphism. Sapphism is an affliction known to, well, afflict innumerable sorority sisters, cheerleaders, housewives, and female prison inmates as well as other members of society, as studies (well, visits to the local non-chain video store) have shown.
The cinemackly-proven treatment for this affliction:
the Ben Affleck character.
In the first trial,
Chasing Amy, Ben Affleck's "character," a comic book illustrator of a singular facial expression, cures Joey Lauren-Adams' character of rampant and visible Sapphism. Although this first trial was promising, Hollywood scientists were cautious, not yet proclaiming their discovery.
However, in a second trial,
Gigili, the Ben Affleck character, a person of undoubtedly immobile visage, cures the Jennifer Lopez character, inducing her to seduce a male with such come-hither lines as "
It's turkey time. Come on, gobble gobble." (as reported by researcher
Dr. Drudge.)
In double-blind studies, the Ben Affleck character was not found to cause harm to straight males (the
Good Will Hunting study) or females not afflicted with Sapphism (the
Bounce trial, among others). Scientists are encouraged by these findings and hope to submit the Ben Affleck character for FDA approval.
Competeing scientists, afraid of being locked out of a Ben Affleck character patent, have begun studying similar compounds such as the
Bruce Affleck character or the
AFLAC duck character in hopes of producing a similar affect. Early tests of these generic alternatives, however, are not promising.
