SNL’s alternative Obama-Hu press conference reality
Saturday Night Live’s China-U.S. press conference is pure comedy. It captures the Zeitgeist pretty well. The Mrs. Obama part at the end, though, was way over-the-top (and in poor taste if you ask me). Take those comments out and you have a pretty funny skit.
One thing, though. It’s more than $1.3 trillion in American paper that China owns – not $800 billion as mentioned in the skit.

“The Mrs. Obama part at the end, though, was way over-the-top (and in poor taste if you ask me).”
Well, Ed, what’s simulated homosexual intercourse to an arrogant generation that grew up thinking that murdering your unwanted children was perfectly OK. When you haven’t developed enough to know with certainty what a human being is, how can you be faulted for trivializing the most intimate expression of human love, and in this case a disordered expression at that? Maybe you’re simply to be pitied, not laughed at.
This show will be luck if it isn’t asked to make a full scale public apology to the Chinese. Something tells me that the head of a regime that has been responsible for the deaths of literally millions of its own citizens over the last several decades won’t be entertained by the sexual fixations of supercilious American twenty-somethings who got their moral upbringing in the Psychology Department.
