Original Sex

Here’s our latest video commission!

Original Sex is a sex-education drama that presents the (imagined) views of Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Thomas. The justices teach the principles of “original sex” based on the principles of America’s Founding Fathers and role-play a courtship scene between George Washington and Martha Dandrige.

*Any resemblance of the characters to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not at all based in fact.
