PHOENIX (CBS5) -

A spoof video on Gov. Jan Brewer that made the front page of a popular comic website, Funnyordie.com, is going viral.

In the video, Academy Award nominee Mary Steenburgen plays Brewer as she introduces a "self-deportation station" that would send immigrants back over the border.

Actor and comedian George Lopez makes a cameo appearance in the video.

Brewer's spokesman Matt Benson said, "The governor got a laugh out of it. Clearly it's all meant in good fun, and you can't take yourself too seriously in politics."
