[SNL] Tiger Woods Sketch: Funny Flap, or Abuse Slap?

[tvmanismadformad]

Where would we be in this world if we didn't have people like PETA, and the Parents Advisory Council to tell us what is bad in the world? Could we live? Could we exist without these watchdogs telling us what's inappropriate or not?

This past Saturday's SNL episode featured a sketch involving the controversial Tiger Woods situation, in which Tiger (played by Kenan Thompson) is progressively beaten by his wife for sleeping with other women (for summary, see link above). The sketch seems sound, but it is addressing a lot of controversy. You see, on any other night, this sketch would have most likely gone without a whisper, but it didn't due to the musical guest Rihanna. For those who cannot remember, back in February, Rihanna had a little incident with former boyfriend Chris Brown, in which he beat her up, in one of the most memorable acts of domestic abuse in recent super stardom.

Well, remembering this, some anti-abuse activists worked into there brains that SNL was making fun of this incident with an unrelated story, and the roles switched. So now there is some anger towards SNL for making such an obvious parody of a serious event.

Are they valid here, or are they overreacting? If Rihanna wasn't in this episode, would it have made any difference? Did it offend you? What say you?

If people think this sketch is offensive, then really, isn't this whole episode offensive? Think about it...

Speech Crashers: Offensive to White House Security People.

Blake Lively: Offensive to Muppet's and ugly women who don't like looking at people so much prettier than them.

The Vagisil Superstars of Bowling Tournament: Offensive to lady bowlers, sports fans, mentally disabled people, and people with vagina problems.

SNL Digital Short: Rihanna & Shy Ronnie: Offensive to nerds, and geeks.

Gossip Girl: Staten Island: Offensive to people from or in Staten Island.

Kickspit Underground Rock Festival: Offensive to old people, and the Parents Advisory Council.

Weekend Update: December 5th, 2009: Offensive to anyone in, or related to anyone in the news pieces.

Virginiaca Hastings: Skirt Shopping: Somewhat offensive to black people.

Fake Commercial: UPS #1-2: Offensive to cross dressers and transsexuals.

Late Night with Chris Hansen: Offensive to pedophiles and maybe Mexicans.

Potato Chip Thief: Offensive to NASA.

So as you can see, the entire episode might as well had been directed by the devil. Who wants to join me with torches and pitchforks on a march to 30 Rock?
