Sigh,I guess we wouldn't be a media blog unless we made some observation about the Hey, Hey It's Saturday (screening on Wednesday) scandal.
After all, everyone else is.
Just a few observations:
1. Hey, Hey It's Saturday is not known for its high brow humour.
2. The show's producers should have realised that in today's inter-connected world everything is available to everyone everywhere.
3. Australians are culturally different to Americans and have a different sense of humour.
4. Is one of the critics of the skit the same Whoopi Goldberg who said Roman Polanski didn't 'rape-rape' a 13-year-old girl?
5. Does this herald the end of female impersonators because they're 'offensive'?
6. Our lives are pretty damned comfortable if this is all we have to worry about.
*The line is from Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer in which the actor played a scene in black face
