Mia Khalifa as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia?

Sure, actors have become ambassadors before — Psycho‘s John Gavin comes to mind — but who ever heard of a pornstar turned ambassador? A petition submitted on Change.org is hoping that Mia Khalifa will become the first. Penned by Dalcolm Rodriguez-Goldstein, the request asks President-elect Donald Trump to consider appointing the Lebanese star to the Saudi Arabian ambassadorship.

The petition’s text adopts the patriotic tone of a political tract: “Mia Khalifa has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of cultural background for the betterment of our country and international community. She will be a great leader representing us in the middle east as well as a symbol of the melting pot that is America.”

The thought of a pornstar as ambassador seems patently ridiculous, but then again, 2016 is the year that gave us black swan events like Brexit and President Trump. As the Jerusalem Post put it, “If a brash, billionaire media persona with little political experience can be US president, then why can’t a former porn star be the top US diplomat to Saudi Arabia?” Khalifa also has the advantage of having been a Trump supporter.

Khalifa quit the business in 2015 after a brief (though memorable) career, but thanks to the same sort of canny PR that made her famous in the first place, she has continued to grab headlines. As of this writing, the petition is fewer than 950 signatures short of reaching its goal of 5,000.
