Sent this email moments ago to all on the list.
I wish to express my indignation at GE’s continuing support of SNL after the tasteless skit aired with perverse humor asserting incest against the Palin daughters by their father.
This episode of SNL establishes that SNL no longer merits your venerable business continued support. Once a fine program with outstanding humor, it has fallen into vitriolic and venomous personal attacks all in the name of so called avant-garde humor.
Strongly urge you all to chastise the entire staff of SNL for their low actions and to emphasize that chastisement with a GE statement that any further such incidents will result in GE withholding continued financial support of SNL.
Making fun of President Ford’s public clumsiness, President Clinton’s extra-marital dalliances, President Bush’s malapropisms is in the vein of the lasting humor that Will Rogers would have used. What SNL did falls far outside the acceptable and brings shame and dishonor to your business.
Request you severely and publically chastise SNL for this poor conduct on their part and as representatives of GE.

Thanks for your note. We understand your concerns and value your opinion. This has been brought to the attention of Saturday Night Live Executive Producer Lorne Michaels. I will forward your note to him.
Excellent. Keep up the pressure everyone. GE has a financial interest in NBC being profitable, not politically correct.
