Hypocrisy pisses me off

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

A few days ago, I embedded a video from Saturday Night Live, using NBC's own Hulu website. This was a skit that made light of the "victims" of sub-prime mortgages and made fun of a very liberal couple named the Sandlers and a large contributor to the Democratic party, George Soros, along with mocking Barney Frank and Bush as well.

This skit has been pulled from every site where it was posted. All comments inquiring as to the reason for it being pulled have been deleted.

No explanation has been given by NBC at all. They're just trying to pretend like the clip never existed. This makes it seem like there was pressure put on the Democratic party by the Sandlers and Soros, who then put pressure on NBC to remove the clip. That's the only reason I can think of to pull a clip like this.

And that's fucking repugnant. Everybody in the public eye is fair game under parody and satire, and if SNL can reap huge ratings from hilarious skits that make fun of Palin and McCain, they should be able to put up equally hilarious skits making fun of Democrats.

This just makes NBC look like a bully against the Republican party and affects any ability they have to appear balanced or objective.

I'm pretty disgusted with them right now.

Updated: 8:50 AM – Apparently, NBC has now rereleased the video, but removed the caption that originally displayed when the Sandlers were shown, which said "People who should be shot." Maybe this was just a legal issue after all. If that's the case, I retract my statement!


Remember – no radio show tonight! We'll be back next week with an all new Clearly, You're Retarded!

Joel McHale

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Friday night we went to the Hard Rock at Universal City Walk and watched Joel McHale, from E's show, "The Soup", do his stand-up routine.

It was nice to see that he is pretty much just as dorky and goofy as his on-screen persona. He told a few stories about celebrities he's pissed off, talked about his kids in one of the funniest routines I've heard in a long time, and gave a great performance.

An almost better performance, though, was given by the two retards sitting behind us. The girl, Cunty McShitface, and the guy, Cockhead Douchenozzler, were so drunk before the show even started that they were hooting and hollering and screaming at the top of their lungs every time the warm-up comedian said anything. Of course, they were both as stupid as a box of dog shit, so their catcalls usually came at the set ups for each joke, not the punchline:

"So, I'm like my old Jewish grandmother."

"WOOHOO JEWS!"

"I walked into a bar…"

"WHOOOOOO! A BAR!"

"I stopped doing drugs a few years ago…"

"WHEEEEEE! DOING!"

By the time Joel started, these two jizzmonkeys had reached their alcoholic limit and were passed out in their chairs. They remained in a comatose state until security came around to make sure neither of them had died of alcohol poisoning, at which point they both stirred and showed signs of life. Ah, a boy can dream . . .

On another note, here's a hilarious clip from this week's SNL. It was an excellent episode, hosted by Anne Hathaway, but this clip was highlighting some of the "victims" of the predatory lenders that Sarah Palin hates so much:
