In Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
No matter what SNL does, there are always people here that will defend them and their intent and state we’re just missing the point.
Whatever.
I have a fairly good sense of humor and didn’t go off a cliff last week over the Fey skit but this was simply not funny. If the intent of the skit was really to lampoon the Times and liberal media it failed miserably because everyone is too disgusted by the suggestion of incest to even be so “enlightened” to the satire. Following on the heels of all the other attacks people have seen against Sarah, this is only repulsing people and no one is going to believe no harm was meant.
I’m sorry. But some things are not funny and not worth defending. Not even in the name of comedy. Comedy, after all, is supposed to make people laugh. No one’s laughing.
