'SNL' Criticized After Airing Tiger Woods Domestic Violence Skit While Rihanna On Show
Access Hollywood ^ | 12-6-09

"Saturday Night Live" is making headlines for featuring a skit over the weekend, which parodied domestic violence.

On Saturday night's episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods' scandalous week, satirizing reports - denied by the golfer - that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively.

However, the show's musical guest was Rihanna - a victim of domestic violence earlier this year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown -- prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show's humor was insensitive from some corners.

"It was another sketch that gave us pause," noted PopEater in an article titled "'SNL' Lampoons Alleged Violence in Tiger Woods' Marriage," on Sunday. "We think, had the genders been reversed, 'SNL' wouldn't make light of the potentially violent situation."

If this keeps up, they can do a remake of “A League of Their Own.”

A true alternate universe scenario.

Hey, it could happen! And Tiger's girlfriend of the week would be there as a substitute mother, because however bad their real mom is, kids need a woman's influence in their lives.

No kidding.

To think that the democrats accused President Bush of being Orwellian, when it is the damn democrats who are the ones interested in silencing Americans once and for all.

0 When jerks like Bill Mayer and Jon Leibowitz make fun of people, it is sooooooooooo funny.

But when a democrat gets made fun of?

Not allowed.

The democrats have a sense of humor that is comparable to Stalin's.

You are allowed to make fun of everyone EXCEPT DEMOCRATS.

My father once told me that some of the most dangerous people I will ever meet usually give themselves away when they reveal that they have no sense of humor.
