Sometimes Saturday Night Live has some funny spoofs of celebrities, but lately they have been down right cruel, or at a minimum, LAME. The most recent show spoofed Rachel Maddow as gay. Isn't that funny? Not!The show before that one (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08351/935356-42.stm) had a sketch featuring a spoof of New York Governor David Paterson, who happens to be blind. It was not funny how they had him bumbling around in front of people and holding a sign upside down.
Paterson's office said the skit ridiculed people with physical disabilities and implied that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities. I agree. SNL needs to get their act together or stop having elementary students writing for them.
SNL ceased to be funny years ago. They are just sad now.
ReplyDeleteI agree, SNL is pretty lame. I stopped watching them after John Belushi died.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, it seems that a lot of people loved them when they were ripping Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin apart. For some reason, the Progressive blogosphere thought they were genius' back then. Go figure.
