OK, it's really just a skit from Saturday Night Live (video here) but it's pretty funny: "Feeling lonely this holiday season, looking for a little human contact, then why not go through security at an airport!"

Posted this before, no video, just the script from SNL back in ‘02 or so:

I couldn’t find a clip, but here’s the transcript of an old SNL commercial parody that I saw yesterday. Didn’t know wheter to laugh or cry:

[ SUPER: “A Message From The Men And Women Of Trans American Airlines” ]

Captain: September 11th, 2001 changed a lot of things about the way we live.

Stewardess #1: But, if you’ve traveled by air recently, you know that new security procedures at most airlines can make flying a frustrating and unpleasant experience.

Employee #1: But at Trans American, we don’t believe that endless lines, early check-in requirements, or confiscating tweezers are the best way to prevent terrorism.

Captain: At Trans American, we have a better idea. We screen our passengers with a system we call “Racial Profiling”.

Stewardess #1: You see, unlike other airlines, we at Trans American have noticed that airline hijackers always seem to be Islamic males, age 15 to 45, of Middle Eastern descent.

Employee #2: That’s why, at Trans American, any passenger who fits that description is put through the industry’s most exhaustive secuity check - including sodium-pentathol interrogation, strip search, and full body cavity exam.

Stewardess: Any passenger who doesn’t, we leave the hell alone. That’s a promise.

Stewardess #2: Some of our competitors take issue with our policies, and even say that, if you allow racial profiling, the terrorists have won. But we don’t agree. I mean, why would terrorists want racial profiling? That’s how you catch them.

Captain: Rest assured, at Trans American, we have no intention of changing the system that’s given us the best security record in the industry. Fly with us, and you’ll see why. And, by the way, you can bring your tweezers.

Voiceover: Trans American Airlines. Security. Reliability. Racial profiling.

When did so many start confusing romance and love with rape and sexual assault? (answer-50 yrs of porn in America)

Romance, love are to lead to sacred, holy union of marriage
Rape is violent, forced, thievery, a violation, direct assault on the above.

Kids don't need or want romance or rape. This is all criminal, sexual assault.

The perpetually doped up, horny keep forgetting this. Their level of self absorption, self centeredness is bazaar, to just think the airport as another place to get some action.

Rape and sexual assault are not a joke or something to parody. That is my point. How chilled out do you think they were in the cities of sodom and gomorah just before God destroyed those places?

Men and women, if they were not killing the children they gave birth to, were ALL involved in violent acts of rape with each other, the children, animals.

Only one person (Lot) was not “chilled out” and kool with it all, like gettin in to it totally. Same in Noah's day, only him and his family refused and take part in “chillin out” and laughing a little, go with all the dorky peer pressure like a hormonal teen.

Chilling out is the problem! Chilling out was what gave us The flood and the fire!
