Tonight's episode of Saturday Night Live on the Comedy Central network -- a rerun from barely a year ago -- featured hottie-of-the-week Heather Graham taking a fun spanking from two of the series regulars. Of course it wasn't an over-the-knee thing, nothing that structured; but she bends over and allows -- practically BEGS -- Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri to give her a handspanking that covers, I'd say, maybe 10 or 12 smacks. Nothing hard, but just fun.
Got it on Super-VHS tape, after "stalking" this episode for a year.
This seems to be the new approach to mainstream spankings, as served up by TV and the movies. OTK purists, and that includes me, may squawk -- but the fact that we get to see ANY spankings in the public media these days has to be taken as a positive sign.
The other night, on the HBO program "The Mind of the Married Man," there was a dream sequence involving three lovely and underdressed ladies, and there was some spanking going on in their little menage-a-trois. I believe Cynthia mentioned this on another site. But the "spanking" is, again, unstructured and seems like merely a grace note to the general naughtiness. Apparently our society still hasn't decided whether we want to confront spanking per se; but the idea is there, it's being explored, and it's going to be fun to watch where it leads.
