NEW YORK (AP) — On "Saturday Night Live," even the devil was offended by the Penn State child sex abuse scandal.

"SNL" cast member Jason Sudeikis reprised his role as Satan, appearing with red horns and pitchfork. The devil was informed by "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers of sex charges against a former defensive coordinator and allegations that university officials failed to report the abuse.

Even he was disturbed by the news. Addressing Penn State students who protested football coach Joe Paterno's firing, the devil spoke directly into the camera, asking, "Do you know how bad that made you look?"

Disgusted by the scandal, the devil says, "Evil isn't what it used to be."

Shame added to extreme shame.

(What Penn State is notoriously known for best these days)

for some reason, the fault is with JoePa, who never witnessed anything yet reported what he heard, and not the homosexual(s) that committed the acts. go figure

I’d like to see liability suits filed against any institution or company that allowed children to be alone with homosexuals as they would be exposing them to radically increased risk of molestation

we can call it the Penn state lesson

if you employ homosexuals around children, you run a very high risk of such an incident. if any child is abused and it can be proven the management knew the perp was a homosexual... then the company and the execs should be held personally responsible.

There are still some lifestyle choices seen as “wrong” by the American news media?

You wouldn't be good as either a court case reporter or a sports journalist!

The last count I had was:
Charges vs. Sandusky: 40
Charges vs. Paterno: 0

Yet you would report a 40-0 game of Sandusky Preteen Prep vs. Paterno Academy as a showdown "all Paterno," eh?

The Penn State students were not the ones doing the child raping. Why hang this around their necks. Was it your fault that there was a drive by shooting in your neighborhood - no, it was not. The students are as frustrated as any of us that a mad dog rapist was running loose and people in power gave him a pass to operate. unheeded.

It should have been the Michael Jackson lesson. Wonder how SNL handled that miserable unfolding. Don’t recall any Libs taking the side of those victims - whether paid of by Jackson, or not.

That was one of the funnier skits on SNL recently. The devil didn't know about the scandal and just assumed it was some recruiting violation when he heard Penn State was in trouble. In the end he was so horrified that he said he was going to quit his job and return to being a customer service rep for Time Warner Cable. Personally, I think that may be a higher rank in evilness compared to ruler of Hell.

No they are not. They would rather pin attention on Joe Paterno to deflect attention from the homosexual network in major institutions. The perversion is not Joe Paterno. It's the NAMBLA types who get cover from the accepted homosexual networks. Joe Paterno is the red herring in this stinking mess. Show me where the homos are taking heat from the media.

“for some reason, the fault is with JoePa, who never witnessed anything yet reported what he heard”

My sons and future son-in-law were having that discussion the other night. I cannot conceive of walking away from the rape of a child. That’s something a man just can’t do. You have to do*something*right*then, even if it costs you your life. That’s why God invented men: to confront danger and let the women and children get away.

So, McQueary—the guy who saw the rape—notified JoePa. Did JoePa resolve the issue? No. At that point it became McQueary’s inescapable moral duty to follow up and get that pervert’s hooks off of little boys.

So, JoePa notified the athletic director. Did the athletic director resolve the issue? No. At that point it became JoePa’s inescapable moral duty to follow up and get that pervert’s hooks off of little boys.

That “I notified the people above me” merde is just the Nuremburg defense turned inside out. That dog won’t hunt. If the people above you don’t take care of it, you have to take it on again.

Everybody who found out and failed to bring it to a halt is guilty of dereliction of duty as a human being and should be jailed for a long time.

Limbaugh said the other day that there is an element to this that no one in the media can bring up without being fired, including himself. I wonder if that was the homosexual element.

and people in power gave him a pass to operate

And yet what we've seen from Penn State supporters, from students to their fans, is continued support of some of those "people in power [who] gave him a pass to operate." [Paterno, for example]

From Penn State students rioting last Wed. night...
...to Penn State fans verbally abusing and trying to censor a single protestor -- a father who id'd with the victims -- @ Saturday's game.

We can call it a class in ethics given by the University of Hard Knocks. This is what happens when the university professors they listen to only teach amoral humanism.

We Americans can pretend that the ethics of natural law do not matter and even that they do not exist, but they do and if you violate them long enough, the professor of hard knock university pays a visit.

The students will benefit from it if they allow themselves to think rather than just chant football and p.c. slogans.

JoePa knew in 2002 and reported it to the college when someone surprised Sandusky while he was raping a ten year old in the showers. If anyone one knows of ten year old being raped and doesn’t pursue it till the guy is dead or in jail then ......(you fill in the blank)

Does SNL and the MSM realize WE DON’T CARE how we look to them. We are protesting THEM. We are protesting what the B of T did to cover their own asses.

Thank God some don’t care how it looks to others. Especially SNL and the media.

You remember, the media who is against us, right?
