Banned SNL Bailout Video Found - Censored or Sensible?
October 07, 2008 by
The much coveted and censored NBC Saturday Night Live bailout skit -- aka the SNL Bailout Video -- has been found and can be viewed at the overseas website www.snlbailout.cx,
at least until some offended persons take it down.The unhappy website owner, logic indicates an American, claims that this will not happen.
Whatever the reason for the abrupt disappearance of the SNL Bailout Video, the skit hits on some truths and satire that some people may take umbrage to, thus, many conspiracies have been born. Certainly, the website owner is none too pleased as he or she challenges legal action and defends Fair Use. At the bottom of the website, it reads:
"WARNING: ALL COMMUNICTIONS WILL BE POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE!
Please call ....or email.... to make legal threats, I'm very interested in deposing Lorne Michaels, the Sandlers, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and George Soros." Additionally, on the website are several links regarding the SNL Bailout Video scandal of interest.
Regardless,this comedic finding is good news for conspiracy theorists, those concerned about potential censorship and folks who are simply out-of-whack that they missed their dose of political comedy from SNL. Especially when the lulz include an uncharacteristic, wholesale attack on Democrats.
SNL Bailout Video Ban Sensible or Censorship
Given that NBC has removed inquires and comments expressing concerns for the controversial video that evaporated Monday, so far it is unknown to the public why the SNL Bailout Video was pulled.
Those who subscribe to less nefarious explanations have speculated that it is related to concerns about inciting violence. "People who should be shot" reads the caption underneath the Herb and Marion Sanders characters --rich folks who benefited quite well from sub-prime mortgages.

"Twenty Good Years," a new NBC comedy, was supposed to showcase the talents of veteran actors John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambour. While it has potential, the show fell flatter than the dialogue, the jokes, and the oddly-placed laugh track.
