MAD humor: "Didn't I rape you in Vietnam?"
As I was flipping back and forth from SNL waiting for Mosh, I saw this howwor on Pox's mad: the skit about the race had 3 teams in a maze - 2 women 9one a dwarf), bush&dick - not lampooned at all - and kerry& Edwards (this was the order in which they came to finish line too).
The MC was Connie Chung (i think a guy in drag). kerry sees her and utter that awful line in my title - to which Edwards covers his mouth and Connie says: "that was you?"
I think this exceeds the limits of humor, bad taste and anything I can imagine. Mediamatters should be made aware as well.

2. I can't stand MADTV personally. I don't see what some folks
think they see in that program. Imho, *most* of their skits have been offensive.

6. No, and you're right - it's offensive on so many levels I can't begin to
count. BTW, as they get to Ohio I think, they are greeted by a Zulu warrior who tells Connie to wait for him at home.

4. I'm sure it will be perceived as much more offensive than any war crime

5. After the stolen election they had the funniest W skit around
(the one where he wears a badge that says "Dick Tater".

I've been staying away from both shows for years. The SNL osama opener was occasionaly funny (why are your elections so dirty?) but highly offensive (2 Kerry volunteers found me and now I am registered to vote in Colorado)
I don't buy the "equal opportunity offender" crap. Satire only works one way: from powerless to powerful. The reverse is obscene.
