I don't know.. not do that? And yes, Disney is super racist and stupid but the Jasmine thing still irks me. Why couldn't Rapunzel be poor in their skit? The fact that SNL is exposing it through comedy is what's bothering me, because it isn't funny. They making light of these things that are very serious issues. Ya know?

As opposed to being an exploitation of addiction, I think that the angle of Lindsay's monologue was probably something she wanted to do because it seems to me that celebrities have more success in the long-term if they can laugh at themselves for some of the trouble that they've gotten into or something they've become notorious for. For example, when the Olsen twins were on SNL they did a skit where they played paparazzi yelling at themselves on the red carpet telling Mary-Kate to "eat a sandwich" and other such things. While eating disorders are obviously no laughing matter, Mary-Kate had moved on and was willing to laugh at herself and the way that the media had targeted her during that time. Sometimes it's not just about being able to laugh at oneself but to laugh at the way other people perceived you too because whether or not their perceptions were accurate, at the end of the day it's good to put out the message that, "Hey, you [media/press] didn't support me while I was going through a dark time [addiction/disorder/etc] but targeted me and now I've come full circle and am reappropriating your labels of me as a new form of entertainment for all the people watching this show right now."<br /><br />Also, as far as the dwarf comment goes it is definitely NOT okay to say that type of shit. But that's the point. The fact that that comment was said is not a reflection of SNL writers, but on the people in the actual 'housewives' shows and women like that in general that think that they are the only people in the world that matter and consequently say ignorant shit all the time. I believe there was an episode in which that horribly annoying woman who was a countess or something basically acted like her friend's driver was sub-human and got offended when she wasn't addressed as the countess. These women are whack-jobs, thus the satirical writing making fun of them...<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I'd direct your Jasmine complaints to Disney not SNL because she's crying about being poor because in the movie she decides to marry the street rat, not because she's a woman of color...but there are too many fucked up and racist things going on with Disney to even get into that right now, and I'm sure you know of the endless atrocities of which I speak that slowly indoctrinate children and perpetuate racism, gender roles, etc. <br /><br />All in all, I love how critical your being I just think your getting mad at the wrong people because it's the sources for their satire that are the actual problem [in my opinion], not SNL exposing it through comedy. But write on my dear, I dig it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
