Quote:There was apparently an ebola skit on SNL the night before the game, anyone see the campaign to shut them down yet?

 

Personally I love dark humor. The Jags are trying to have a family friendly stadium so maybe not the best place for that joke, but I have yet to hear from someone that was offended by it.

 

For those comparing to other diseases, locality has to be taken into consideration. The joke was intended for those in the stadium. What are the odds someone in the stadium would have personal experience with ebola so that the joke caused them emotional distress? The odds would be much higher for some diseases, lower for others. The prospect that someone might be hurt from the joke is what makes it not funny. So yes, ebola was funny in that context while AIDS, cancer, and some others wouldn't be.

Family friendly... That's what I was told by a Moderator when I typed a word that was deemed "not family friendly", although it's said on the radio and t.v. regularly. And then I hear our radio spot.. you know.. the one with the phone sex operator? Hey, if that doesn't scream family values, I don't know what does !
