You question my upsetness, Rob? Ha ha. Not really that upset, but I think it was in poor taste. Thanks for the link.

The crash(and the unfunny parody) happened right around the time that Conan was bashing FNC as “fake news” to suck up to his buddies, Stewart and Colbert, the real fake news guys.

Obama: more experienced than Bristol Palin

Conan O’Brien has . . . poor taste?

Heh, the guy made his career on poor taste - what did you expect, Masterpiece Theater?

The proper accusation seems to be poor timing.

Tragedy + time = teh funnay, right?

could be worse. you could have a bunch of “offended” rioting muslims like our danish friends had. they printed a cartoon in a newspaper showing the muslim god, whatever his name is, as a terrorist. one silly cartoon resulted in flag burning and smashing up buildings ! at least no-one did that in kentucky

Personally, I think it’s a bit silly to get worked up about this.

Thank you. What, should they cancel Lost too? To me, it’s like when they CGI’ed the Twin Towers out of movies after 9/11. Just silliness.

I would bet money that a large percentage of the Emmy participants and a larger percentage of the audience had no clue as to what was reported in the news on Sunday. We are not talking about rocket scientists here, tv celebrities and the people that spend 6 hours in front of the tv every night.

The skit was in poor taste… even if most of those on either side of the TV cameras were too oblivious to realize.

I think it was in poor taste.  I suspect that they didn’t think anything about running the piece ot they couldn’t figure out how to open the show without it.  It’s also highly likely that the producers were totally unaware of the incident.  Think about it.  How many times have nay of us been involved in a major project and are oblivious to the goings on around us?  Now multiply that by the size of the Emmys.  I can see where, when you are consumed with the logistics of an event that large, you can be totally lost when it comes to current events.  That doesn’t excuse it.  It only explains it.

In retrospect, they should have cancelled the skit, said that such a skit would have been aired during the program, but in deference to those who were killed in the Lexington, Ky crash, decided they would not do the skit.

There was a plane crash in Russian last Thursday. Why weren’t they upset about this skit?

Is it because they’re not retarded?

Change “last Thursday” to “last Tuesday.” Right as I was typing that my Prof said something along the lines of “...and for next Thursday’s class...”

And so it goes.

I understand where you’re coming from Mary Katharine, but I guess I disagree.

It just seems like people are being overly-sensitive to me.
