So basically what you're saying is that ABC should pull LOST from the air this fall. After all, it's about a plane crash and all, so it's offensive for all the reasons that you outlined.

Ditto with 24, which should be taken off the air as we're fighting the War on Terror, and it's offensive to have a show about terrorism on the air.

Or how about the new show this fall, The Nine? Since banks get robbed once in awhile, then that would be really insensitive to those who are in the middle of a hold-up.

Need I go on?? The plot in question was a spoof on a popular network show and a knock against the Emmy voters, who were apparently on crack when they put together the nomination list.

I watched wall to wall coverage yesterday of the plane crash and my heart goes out to all the people and families involved. It was truly a tragedy.

By the same token, I watched the Emmy's last night and never once, not once, made the connection to the crash in Kentucky. The world is a big place, people die in different locales and for different reasons, the plane crash was an accident, not a terrorist attack. I am not a callous person but that skit was funny. Conan dropped in on different shows' sets, trying to find a way to get to the Emmy's. Does this mean that any movie in a theater with a plane crash should suspend showing, and for how long? Life goes on.

I would also like to say how happy I am for my favorite show's cast and crew of "24" for finally winning 5 Emmy's after 5 seasons.
