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?
