One key difference between 20-30 years ago and today. Back then, you could poke fun at, and use satire, against just about anyone. People had a sense of humor. Now, it seems you can only do that if the target is white males, conservatives, or Christians. The outrage would be immense and the leading news story for days, if not longer, if someone took the Sisters’ bit and changed them to mullahs, rabbis, etc.

Let's crank up the hate train for SNL's church lady.
After all, it was a guy dressed up as a woman, and he was making fun of organized religions.

Let's hear for hating on Dana Carvey !

What would your opinion be of street performers putting on black face and mocking black stereotypes? Are you okay with that as long as they were to donate their proceeds to charities they support? Or how about some people painting dots on their foreheads, and doing a skit on how they like to run 7-11's? Is there no line, or is it open season?

In other news. I hope the POTUS is ok. That looked like it hurt.

It seems like no one on the fringes of both parties is happy with the Debt Ceiling/Budget deal. Which probably good.

And the EPA can't regulate puddles or dry creeks. Which is nice.

I'll also be interested to see if Comer and Wray can shuffle some papers this week. Probably not though.


This thread has dissolved into the last lines from Seinfeld.

Also in other news, Chris Christie and Mike Pence are expected to officially run for president. This should make for very interesting republican debates.

Why? :)

I'm waiting for Diane Feinstein give it shot. That, would make for a funny SNL skit. :)

It’s not false anger you nitwit. You are so heavily swayed by media it’s laughable. Mocking a religion is not ok, no matter how much charity work you do. Not surprised by your defense of this. You’d defend anything as long as it’s on your side of the blue aisle

Whatever makes you feel better about being ok with an organization that mocks a religion, as obtuse as it may be. Shameful

What a phony. Self-awareness much?

Feigning outrage over this group, while making numerous racial slurs against your own team. Then, when called out on it, you brush it off as if it wasn’t anything.

This is why your wayyyyyy too easy.

Oh yea, how many times have you told us that you don't care about social issues? Yet, here you are arguing about one all damn day.

You two need to date.

The Dodgers honoring the sisters is ridiculous and embarrassing. And of course the Catholic Church has had more than its fair share of issues. But no one is asking the Dodgers to honor the Catholic Church.

I don't know what makes better satire. The sisters themselves or an MLB franchise honoring them on the field. I don't think Mel Brooks could've have written this script.

He definitely wants to fuck me. His obsession is strong
