SNL Steps Over the Line
Palin "Joke"
"In Saturday Night Live’s second attempt to mock this year’s vice presidential race, a sketch lampooning The New York Times as out of touch has instead touched off a firestorm by casually throwing out a much more insidious inference — incest — between Todd Palin and his pregnant, teenage daughter, Bristol....
...Conservative bloggers are infuriated over the incest joke, most particularly because it plays off claims earlier this month that 17-year-old Bristol Palin is the mother of Trig Palin.
Bristol Palin is five months pregnant and therefore could not be Trig’s mother, John McCain’s campaign noted earlier this month in efforts to diffuse widespread and unfounded gossip that surrounded Trig’s maternity.
Still, left-wing conspirators dissatisfied with that response, have argued that Trig Palin, who was born with Down syndrome, a much more frequent occurrence in women over 40, could have been the outcome of incest, which also increases the odds of the disability.
Now, some bloggers are urging protests of the show be sent to producer Lorne Michaels. The video was not posted on the SNL Web site.
Editor’s Note: When this story was originally published at 12:07 pm ET, the video was available on YouTube. It has since been removed and a notice posted that NBC Universal has issued a copyright claim. Many other SNL videos remain on YouTube."

Re: SNL Steps Over the Line
Thanks for the article, MissB.
This is what SNL does. Who's suprised? I didn't see the bit, but as it read, it didn't appear that funny or that damaging.
I've said it a hundred times since she was introduced as VP candidate, the dems are desperate. They will stop at nothing. Look out for more negativity.

I happen to like SNL, d_dave. I'm not surprised, but it was a bad choice, IMO, even for them.
I was more surprised by the information at the end of the article. I guess I've had my head in the ground, because that's the first I'd heard of it.

Oh, I like the show, too. Although the good funny bits are fewer and farther between.

Re: SNL Steps Over the Line
I don't get how a Holy-Ghost filled person can sit through SNL and not feel any conviction.
Okay, go ahead and bash me.

Good for you. I agree 100% abour SNL and half of what is on TV. Our pastor was saying next season there will be 16 open gays in TV shows. When the church taught against TV it was a clean entertainment. Not like today. The sitcoms are among the most corrupt. I've never enjoyed them since I Love Lucy and the Newly Weds.

That's ok, Jason. There's much in life I don't get.
God is still good, all the time!

Re: SNL Steps Over the Line
Bratty, you've probably already seen this. I just saw it on tooble. It's pretty funny. No peeking, Jason.

Re: SNL Steps Over the Line
They are raunchy sometimes. I didn't happen to see the episode in question...I usually watch various clips on Youtube. LOL!!!
Anywaze. Sorry if I picked a show some of you object to.  Oddly enough, it's usually the musical guests I object to, and I end up flipping to a different program when the music comes on. Sometimes the skits are too tasteless to watch.
Don't fear for my soul, folks. I make good use of the remote control. 
Regardless, that's not the point of the thread.
