Sherri Shepherd Teaches Daytime Audience How To Position Oneself In A Sling

Sherri Shepherd may have mixed feelings about the gays, but today on The View, she allowed one to demonstrate how to lay in a sling, perk up one’s arse, and start panting. And why not.

Kudos, truly, to the producers of this insane segment (which we would mistake for an interlude from Queer as Folk but for the presence of a black person). We imagine the decision to anoint Shepherd as the program’s new exercise guinea pig likely came down to a process of elimination; after all, there was no way Elisabeth Hasselbeck was going to follow in the inverted footsteps of her nemesis, and Barbara Walters only gets in the sling when Simon Baker asks nicely.
