[converted because it line-breaks deluxe in Juno...] http://snurl.com/46inu [www_deadlinehollywooddaily_com] I just spotted an LA Times blogger's report on this: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/10/nbc-yanks-then.html "But after speaking to the couple, [Lorne] Michaels said he and other executives decided to take the sketch offline to edit out the most offensive lines. The [Chyron] under the couple that referred to them as 'people who should be shot' was removed, as was a reference [to] their 'corrupt activities.' He noted that the Sandlers did not request the changes but that he felt it was an appropriate step to take. 'I understand the Sandlers’ complaint,' Michaels said. 'I think it’s not insignificant to read ‘People who should be shot’ underneath your name.' But he stressed that the line was clearly satire and not meant literally. Rather, Michaels said, the sketch was an effort to skewer those who profited during a time when so many Americans have lost money." -- BOB ____________________________________________________________ Click here to find the perfect picture with our powerful photo search features. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3mDcG0H6RVPSVRsrWwqMJLCb6IBc3aB9rBMA786KTZuUjtSb/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
