Katz's Delicatessen Is Hosting A Fake Orgasm Contest In Honor Of The 30th Anniversary Of “When Harry Met Sally". What Can Possibly Go Wrong?
NY Post- Katz’s Delicatessen is hosting an orgasm-faking contest next month to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the classic romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally…”
The deli was famously featured in the “I’ll have what she’s having” scene, where Meg Ryan’s character Sally vividly fake-climaxes as Billy Crystal’s Harry and other diners watch. Competitors in the July 12 contest will sit at the exact table where Ryan and Crystal sat exactly 30 years ago, the deli said. “Be prepared to give your best ‘o’ in front of a panel of notable New Yorkers and special guests,” the restaurant said in a statement, without naming the judges.
Look, I understand what the people at Katz’s were thinking when they whipped up this kooky little promotion. They figured they could get a bunch of Baby Boomers that loved a classic 80s movie out to the deli, sling some $22 pastrami on rye sandwiches, and maybe even a little bit of publicity to introduce the deli/movie to a younger generation.

However, the one problem with this thinking is where Katz’s resides. New York fucking City. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there will be a handful of gray-haired When Harry Met Sally superfans that show their faces as well as a few that reveal their O faces without realizing they are letting their Harry know that they haven’t been hitting that spot nearly as good as they were led to believe the last 30+ years. Not that any of us could possibly relate to that, right fellas?
But I imagine the rest of the peanut gallery will be comprised with creepy fucks that found out there was a free fake orgasm show taking place that will give them material for the spank bank to give themselves real orgasms later on who have never even heard of When Harry Met Sally or know who the fuck Billy Crystal is. Oddly enough, I imagine most of these creatins will look just like the guy in the Yankee hat from the actual classic scene.
Also, there needs to be at least one Barstool personality there representing the Stool for content purposes both as a participant and a (wo)man on the street. However I’m pretty sure if I actually ask someone here to do it, I will have an email from Barstool HR in my inbox before I could even finish my sentence*.

P.S. I forgot how much of a rocket Meg Ryan was back in the day.
That 2 minute scene must have been worn clear on tons of VHS tapes as countless kids with hormones rifling through their bodies through puberty back in the 90s when a Hollywood actress faking getting her rocks off was about as good as it got unless you had a black box or access to smut magazines in the days where unlimited HD porn wasn’t a click away on a high-speed network.
