[FONT=&quot]Catholic officials in New York City demanded on Monday an apology from “Saturday Night Live” and NBC for Pete Davidson’s “disgraceful and offensive” jab at the church in a bit involving R. Kelly.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the “Weekend Update” segment on the show, the comedian noted that Kelly, a singer facing multiple charges of sexual abuse, “is a monster who should go to jail forever.” [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“But if you support the Catholic Church,” he continued (as seen in the clip above), “isn’t that like the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan? I don’t really see the difference, except like one’s music is significantly better.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Diocese of Brooklyn blasted the routine in a statement.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“The faithful of our Church are disgusted by the harassment by those in news and entertainment, and this sketch offends millions,” it said. “The mockery of this difficult time in the Church’s history serves no purpose. The clergy sex abuse crisis is shameful, and no one should ever get a laugh at the expense of the victims who have suffered irreparably.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The church is facing a wave of child sex abuse scandals globally while Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, some of which allegedly involved underage girls.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Saturday Night Live” and NBC declined comment.[/FONT]

If it was Islam, they wouldn't be demanding an apology.. it would be Allah Akbar and a knife to Pete Davidson's skinny little neck. Then SNL would apologized for offending the great religion of Islam.

I have no idea why they would care. SNL hasn't been relevant for years. Who even watches that show any more? I'm sure their ratings suck.

[FONT=&quot]Last season averaged 10 million viewers per episode. The top 10 TV shows are between 13-20 million, so they are doing OK.[/FONT]

They actually have done a few skits on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. (Which are pretty funny by the way)

Weird article to be posted by a liberal who loves illegals like they are some kind of gods.

Typical rating of mid 5's now. In it's heyday it was mid 13's, so just a little better than 1/3 the viewership now. Quite unimpressive.

The forum ball of hate has to chime in with a non sequitur.

Ha ha. I love these clueless white fucks who live in Ohio and don't live with tons of illegals.

If you want to make a deal and I trade you the millions of illegals in my state for the millions of Americans in your state.... and you'll see how safe, civilized, crime-free and less problematic an area is...


.. but.... oh, oh.... cry like a bitch.... the bigotry.... get the fuck outta here. Dumb white people brainwashed to think it's the greatest thing on the planet.... until your neighborhoods, schools and etc look like junkyards.

Lol. Good stuff, Pats.

Seriously, though, let's be real. Imagine you live in Mexico and all of a sudden 20 million people from Haiti (for the sake of argument, that many don't exist) invade Mexico.... and as a Mexican you're supposed to go, "Oh, this is great! Fantastic! 10 million more people from Haiti, please!"

It's the same goddamn principle. But if you speak out against it... you're anti- this or anti- that...... lol, get the fuck outta here.


And if you support trannies, you're a sick fuck.


It's called common sense. But if you're like bodyforlice who likes to caress another man's balls, then it's wrong, wrong, wrong.

Those # aren't comparable. Share and Rating are %'s. There was just less to watch back then. Now there are hundreds of channels and thousands of shows. Just saying.

If you have a problem with the methodology used by the Nielsen ratings, perhaps you should talk to them. Other than that, your spin on things is boring. There are significantly more viewers also, and yet you try to use a number.

I think you're in the wrong thread. The subject pertains to snl and the Catholic Church.

Catholic church is a child molesting, institutional machine. For thousands of years. And expect an apology from SNL? LOL! I hope next week they double down with an even better skit.

[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]For the most part I think your opinions are nonsensical but in this instance hit the bullseye.

The Catholic Church doctrine is the embodiment of evil. It's one thing to discover that a number
of priests are child molesters but it's a hole other level to cover it up and in some cases reward
said molesters by promoting them and after you've been exposed you continue to allow it.

For the good of the country I'm glad to see membership is declining.
