I am personally offended by the Girls Gone Wild: Hurricane Katrina sketch

Objectifying women in a disaster zone is completely reprehensible and
irresponsible by SNL. I can't believe they would air that horrible
tasteless sketch again.

Girls Gone Wild Katrina, now that's what I call a taco!

I think that SNL was making fun of the whole GGW enterprise more than
actaully making fun of Katrina victoms. I think the point of that
sketch was that GGW is so ridiculas that they would actually do a GGW
Katrina.

I didn't see the sketech but there were some horrible reports during the
aftermath of Katrina. Supposedly rescue workers were going by houses and
hotels in boats. They were yelling to the women to lift their shirts. If
they did, that's where they stopped. If not, they passed them by.
I originally read it in a UK paper as UK tourists reported it. This turned
up in a web search.


Also I think since the start of SNL it was to poke fun, push buttoms
and make fun of things sthat othes shows would not do. I mean SNL has
been doing humor that somebody might find offensive since 1975. Not
eveyone is going to find everything funny. personally I was offened by
most of the 1994-95 season, Ithink the low=point of SNL hummer or void
of hummor. I am glad that SNL is still finding ways to shock and
offend with humor.

my 2 cents

Boo f------ hoo. When did Americans become such effeminate, sensitive
sissies?

jmpc...
how in your twisted mind can you possibly call that effeminate?
go hug a nazi


Annie.Orange...
When we decided to evolve with the rest of the civilized world.


Rockboy...
Seems to me it was the 70s.

Agent Smith...
I vote for the sixties.


FDR...
Yeah, c'mon. Bring on the 9/11 jokes.


Justin Pate...
I'd say more like 1967.

David Johnston...
How could Clinton have been responsible for something in 1967?

Justin Pate...
Well I didn't think he was, but now that you mention it, wasn't he a
hippy back then? That's where this all started. He was part of the
"revolution".


ravenlynne...
When has SNL ever been tasteful? Or lately even funny?

Peck...
for what it's worth, I watched that rerun last night (Steve Carrell
hosting), and I thought that the Anderson Cooper 360 sketch
(celebrities building a house in New Orleans, post-Katrina) was really
really funny

Armisen's Tony Danza impression slays me, though...


Agent Smith...
When Natalie Portman did her rap video, with its Claire Danes and Gwyneth
Paltrow walk-ons.
