I don’t go often to Breitbart but I am getting desperate for news that goes beyond the smoke and mirrors I am getting. I didn’t get far before I saw a title in the sidebar that read “...SNL Cruelly Mocks Alabamans (sic) as Rednecks”. That kind of surprised me so checked it out.
It didn’t look like it was anything more than SNL doing what SNL does. I did not watch the clip. I had just had my oatmeal and wanted it to settle a bit. I didn’t see anything to get upset about. I remember when they lampooned Sarah Palin. I like Sarah Palin. I did then, I do now. She was the reason I could vote for John McCain. They mocked her and did a good job. It was funny. I can laugh at myself. I can laugh when the humor is real. It is not “cruel mocking”, it is humor.
That is what comedy is supposed to be, funny. If it is a bit offensive, get over it. Stop wanting to be a right wing snowflake.

I quit watching SNL the night they had a guy portraying God who laughed and said that he sometimes sent people to hell by accident. That was a bit much for me.
ReplyDeleteI have a vague memory of watching SNL somewhere in my past but it has been so long it is like remembering when the Republican party had principles and the Democrats had some patriots. This is why You Tube is of value. It saves us from wasting our time.
