Ugh, I thought I was being cute with my headline until I found this picture. Anyway, the story is, Ricki Lake executive produced The Business of Being Born, a film in which she also appears.
Initiated by executive producer Ricki Lake and directed by Abby Epstein, this investigation of contemporary childbirth "management" is in many ways "The Inconvenient Truth" of obstetrics, not to mention a convincing endorsement of midwifery. A close-up and personal film, in which several of its subjects — including Lake — allow the camera to capture their chosen methods of delivery in indisputably intimate detail, "The Business of Being Born," screened at the Palm Springs International Film Festival ahead of a limited theatrical run (it will be offered by Netflix in February), is a must-see for any woman who’s pregnant or planning to have kids. At first glance, the notion of deliberately giving birth outside of a hospital (as Lake did in 2001, in her bathtub with her second child) might seem to be a risky proposition. [Yahoo/Hollywood Reporter]
Jesus Christ, here’s some advice: if you want to make a widely-seen, socially conscious, message-movie, don’t put RICKI LAKE GIVING BIRTH IN A BATHTUB IN IT.
I can’t think of anything more terrifying, not even Barbra Streisand singing a sad song at a funeral for my penis, or Nic Cage’s forehead chasing me through an Indian burial ground. I picture her all pasty and bloated with her chubby vag stretched out like an inflated balloon while the studio audience shouts, "You go, gurl!", "Oh no you di-en’t!", and "Dass yo baby!" Next time just adopt an African like everyone else.

I may need to take a break after this post.
This is her way of convincing us that she intended to give birth in the bathtub all along, and not because she was stuck.
I may need to take a hit off of a .357 after this post.
Tater mitt!!!
Labia majora? More like labia GINORMA.
Fun Fact: Legend has it, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid hid there loot inside Ricki Lake’s uterus.
Ew.
I didn’t durst this… it was dursted before it was even born. No, strike that, it was dursted upon conception and should have been vacuumed out, followed by some sort of nervous breakdown by the oven that held the durst.
*cue William Shatner in Invasion Iowa/Darth Vader Ep. III*
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Why didn’t she poop it out into a dumpster like everyone else?
Aw, who the fuck am I kidding? Not only am I going to beat off to his movie, I am going to beat off to the banner pic, too!
DOR SHO GHA!
The Mighty Fek’lhr thought we were still on Iron Man!!!!
I find nothing more gross/scary than the prospect of a baby covered in goo and blood, ripping it’s way out of a vagina…
Talk about your Torture Porn…
*shudder*
And to think her doctor had a little vacuum machin in his office that could have stopped that from happening, like, months ago.
What an asshole.
You know how guys get when they think about getting kicked in the balls. That’s how I get when I think about giving birth. Like I want to puke/faint/attack the person who brought it up.
Eeeeewwwww. I’m gone for the morning and this is what I come back to? Lance, you are officially ‘On Notice’.
lance: i think you need to give us a bit of time before your next post, too. need to digest…-wait, bad word choice…i think i just threw up in my mouth a little. i’ll be right back.
In grade 11 we watched this video of a woman giving birth (she was wearing makeup!!??) and it was like close-ups of a naked man get repeatedly kicked in the testicles, except with more mucus and discussion questions.
Scarred. For. Life.
i found this blog ‘almost a dad’ and the guy writes pretty well. one of his posts is about ‘cringe-worthy terms’ you’ll hear during pregnancy. since we’re already on such a nasty subject, i’ll dole some out for you drunkards…’bloody show’ is my fave
1. Mucous Plug – kinda like an internal baby cork
2. After Birth – look it up yourself
3. Fundus – the top of the uterus
4. Cracked nipples – ouch!
5. Leukorrhea – look it up yourself
6. Perenial tear – a tear in perineum (a.k.a ‘taint)
7. Bloody show – occurs within 24 hours of labor, look it up yourself for more detail
8. Membrane rupture – look it up yourself
9. venous thrombosis – a blood clot, typically in the leg
10. Any term with "stretching" or "tearing"
Wow, of all the posts I chose to jump back into FimDrunk on (been busy, fuck you), but here goes…
Honest to god true story, my sister-in-law used a midwife for her first two kids.
The first midwife ripped the afterbirth out of her causing internal bleeding and almost killed her, her husband called 911 after she dragged herself across the floor bleeding out trying to get to bed.
The second midwife allowed the baby’s head to come out with the cord wrapped around its neck causing suffocation in the baby and a dangerous spike in blood pressure in Mom, both almost died.
The lesson is clear, don’t use fucking midwives, and don’t marry hippie chicks cuz they’re suicidal during childbirth.
I gave birth in a bathtub once. Sometimes that nice warm water can relax just one to many muscles.
Hairy!!!!
Hairy! S’up nukka? Where the fuck you been?
Is it just me or does the banner pic look like Ricki is getting strap-on fucked in the ass by the bull dyke behind her? You go gurl! It’s nice of her ‘life-partner’ to be cool with it and comfort her while she’s losing her anal virginity. I wonder if she’ll take it A2M?
Alright I get it. It is just me.
Hello JHC, I’ve missed you my Saviour. Having backslidden from your FD flock, I cry pity and beg you to forgive me and welcome me back into the fold. I’m a changed man, a true prodigal son in need of your love and spiritual guidance, especially the love part. Oh yeahhhh, the love part…
::thinking about how many kids he watched circle down the drain of the shower::
The doctor ripped open the afterbirth inside my wife too. He had to do a dissection of it to make sure he got it all out. To me, it really wasn’t as scary as when they told me the baby was coming today. We took her to the hospital not because she was in labor, but without telling us or asking us, I hear "Oops, I just broke your water". Fantastic.
I got nothing but love for all the Drunkards. Some more than others. Eib, Lala, Koru, Butters and any other woman who posts here that I didn’t know was woman. You get a little extra, just cuz.
fuzzy wuzzy was a woman?
fuzzy wuzzy was a bear.
"Being birthed from Ricki Lake’s vagina" was my favorite unused challenge from the obstacle course.
I’ve never liked making shower babies. Dad and/or Mom would always give me that knowing look as they asked me, "Why do you take such long showers!?!? You don’t have to pay the water bills!!" Somehow "Because I’m fucking my hand in there!" never seemed like an appropriate response.
Fuck erswi, I’m glad that I took the time to read back posts because; Yes, I would put my money on Riki getting the double headed python DP jackhammer deuce bringer by that Lez playing doctor whilst finger banging the chick in the black. Glad to know it’s not just me.
Crap, erswi-It’s not just you two.
Lance: You moved the headstones, but YOU NEVER MOVED THE BODIES!!
Nic Cage’s Forehead: (Doesn’t speak. It’s a forehead)
I was thinking more along the lines of "gravy enema".
I’d rather have seen Ricki give birth back in the "Hairspray" days instead of the newer slimmer but still fat as fuck days. Oh well.
Ya know what? Fat chicks become a lot better looking if you know they take it up the ass.
I’m just sayin’.
She was dating that black guy in "Hairspray" and everyone knows black guys love to give white chicks anal, right?
What the fuck are you yingtaghs still doing staring at Ricki Lake’s vajayjay? New Winslett post, fags!
They named the baby Owen Tyler Sussman, which of course in German means "A Whale’s Vagina".
- Sheikh al-Gore
This is absolutely disgusting! Where can I get a copy of this?
Lance, you don’t even begin to fool me. You had to write about bloated fat vaginas to distract people from the fact that you can spell Barbra’s name correctly, when so many straight men would just spell Barbara like it’s supposed to be spelled.
I’m on to you, mister. I see all.
You’ve got [i]Prince of Tides[/i] on DVD. I know it. DON’T LIE.
Ignore that I don’t know how to use the <i>italics</i> code correctly. I STILL SEE ALL.
DAMMIT.
Is it weird that the photo kind of turned me on?
Is it weird that I stick a thumb up my ass and look at Photoshopped pictures of Ricki Lake bathing in beef gravy while I jack off with a Big Mac?
