It was a "Lost" reference.
Period.
Drudge and the other ambulance chasers are reaching.
The MSM and now, Drudge, are looking for reasons to be offended.
Matt has crossed over to the dark side.
But, that's where the money is.
Drudge is no better than AlGore, these days.
NBC is the en"EMMY". Why are we surprised?
LEX 18 officials shocked by Emmy Awards’ plane-crash spoof intro
The bit was really really funny. It was a spoof on all the major nominated shows, including LOST, 24, South Park. It was really well done and obviously done weeks ago. It has nothing to do with a plane crash today.
There were all kinds of human tragedies today, some were news, some were not. Life goes on.
FReepers usually abhor PC. This is worse.
I disagree. I doubt anyone who really was affected by the plane crash was watching the Emmy Awards. If they were offended by the Lost deal, I would hope they wouldn't have taken it personally and thought the whole world should stop for them.
NBC has armies of writers and producers on a show the scope of the Emmy Awards. They could have come up with something to replace the Lost sketch, and if it was really lame a simple explanation that they had replaced a planecrash sketch out of respect for those lost in the Comair crash would have been right and classy.
This was the worst writing on an awards show in years, IMHO. They didn't apologize that what made it to the screen was lame.
