Incest, Down Syndrome.......I don't know, just not funny to me. I don't watch the show, so if it's not on a youtube video I won't be able to see it and judge for myself. I just think those topics are not suited to humor. I know someone who's life will never be the same due to incest, I doubt she thinks it's funny either. I really don't care if it's aimed at the NYTimes or the Palins. Bristol has been the subject of enough speculation already. Enough.

Guess we will have to disagree.

I don’t think anyone is claiming Down’s or incest is funny.

It wasn’t funny when dailykos viciously attacked the innocent Palins and invented these wild rumours.

And when NY times reporters pick up this garbage from those sites and present it as “news” - they reveal themselves to be lefty loons.

So - that is why when I saw the skit, and that reporter asked that question, my reaction was “ok! they just nailed these people for being dailykos kooks!”

It wasn’t an attack on the Palins - it was an attack on the reporters.

The reporter went on to say something like “c’mon! It’s Alaska!”

Now - I don’t think SNL was really trying to say ALL Alaskans commit incest.
They were exposing the elitist snobbery among those jerks.

Anyways...it’s just another way of looking at it.
I’m not sure how a true victim would view it, because it was attacking rumormongering more than anything.
