Throwing her across the room and injuring her so she would change her mind about her favorite team isn't "violency" enough for ya?PieceOfMeat wrote:With all of the bitching about that skit, I thought it was gonna have him slapping her or something.

The production quality alone was god-awful and should have had it rejected. I've seen 7th grade Spanish class videos that were done better.Olsondogg wrote:Unreal that multiple people watched that and thought, "Yeah perfect, let's do it"

In light of the topic, I know we're supposed to be all sensitive and everything. But when watching it the first time, was I the only one who kind of hoped she was going to take off her shirt?Olsondogg wrote:Unreal that multiple people watched that and thought, "Yeah perfect, let's do it"

Naw, not that bad at all. Tall, slim fits the bill well enough. The dude on the other hand, complete dooosh. As cheap looking as the production value.Chicat wrote:Yes.

It's not like he picked her up and threw her or anything Chi. He caught her (as part of the dumb dance routine), said wtf bulls and tossed her to the side. Sometimes we get a little too p.c. in this world, and this is one of those times I think. Though, to be fair, if someone would have shown it to me and asked "should we run this" I'd have said no, because I know how the world works. If anything, the most offensive in my view was after the throw when she's got ice on her head. My comment about expecting worse was because I heard a LOT of bitching about it before having seen it. The level of bitching far exceeded what was there.Chicat wrote:Throwing her across the room and injuring her so she would change her mind about her favorite team isn't "violency" enough for ya?PieceOfMeat wrote:With all of the bitching about that skit, I thought it was gonna have him slapping her or something.

I don't think anybody here disagrees with this. Like you say, the stupidity is how obvious it was to turn south. You just don't even go there.PieceOfMeat wrote:It's not like he picked her up and threw her or anything Chi.

Would anyone be bitching if it were two guys? Two sports buds who go for a chest bump, one guy sees the other's jersey, catches the first guy and tosses him? I doubt there'd be any bitching then, or at least very very little.
Was the skit stupid? sure. Should people be in an uproar about it? No.
It looks like a high school AV club put it together.
He sees her shirt and throws her in disgust. It does not at all appear to be an accident. She is physically injured. In fact, she sustains a head injury, an injury that can have very serious consequences and can even lead to death. Then the really insidious part is that after his intentional action causes her a head injury, he gets a good result out of it.PieceOfMeat wrote:It's not like he picked her up and threw her or anything Chi.

Which is what I said. Notice that I also said the worst part was the scene after with the ice on her head?SCCats wrote:

Geniuses from Cleveland. That explains everything.UAEebs86 wrote:He couldn't have just pulled his arms back or dropped her when he saw the shirt?
The heave into a wall and the ice bag makes it over the line.
(Seinfeld voice) Who were the ad geniuses who came up with this?
So if the world wasn't so PC, showing violence against women in this context would be cool?PieceOfMeat wrote:Though, to be fair, if someone would have shown it to me and asked "should we run this" I'd have said no, because I know how the world works.
I believe I've articulated this well enough for you Chi (LH seems to have read and understood what I typed)....but you go ahead and keep tilting at whatever windmill you believe is there.Chicat wrote:So if the world wasn't so PC, showing violence against women in this context would be cool?PieceOfMeat wrote:Though, to be fair, if someone would have shown it to me and asked "should we run this" I'd have said no, because I know how the world works.
This is quite the unexpected take from you....
Peyton didn't do that skit in the wake of A-Peterson...BigSkyCatinMT wrote:It's fiction, and ill advised. Sometimes people think they're doing an SNL skit without thinking, or employing a team of PC lawyers.
Who here was enraged when Peyton Manning did the piece where he abused kids in a football skit? Who here thought it was funny? In the Wake of A-Peterson, shouldn't Peyton be banned from his sport like Pete Rose was?
Sorry, I thought child abuse had been around for years. Only now we care?Olsondogg wrote:Peyton didn't do that skit in the wake of A-Peterson...BigSkyCatinMT wrote:It's fiction, and ill advised. Sometimes people think they're doing an SNL skit without thinking, or employing a team of PC lawyers.

SNL gets a lot more leeway than a team produced spot. If they ran a "Go Colts" ad at halftime featuring Manning pelting kids with footballs it wouldn't have gone over well then either. I don't think anyone is outraged, but it was just incredibly dumb given the spotlight currently on athletes and domestic violence.BigSkyCatinMT wrote:Sorry, I thought child abuse had been around for years.

You tried to draw parallels and it didn't work. The focus on sports right now is injuries, domestic violence, and drug use...if the incidents of Adrian Peterson had been in the limelight prior to Payton on SNL, you'd have a point. But it didn't and you don't.BigSkyCatinMT wrote:I get that you didn't care before. Or correct me. I'm open.Olsondogg wrote:You just don't get it.

Thanks, Dill. Makes sense. Still, why is more leeway given in any instance if the intent is the same and the content is similar?the real dill wrote:SNL gets a lot more leeway than a team produced spot.

You tune into SNL to see something edgy. You don't look for that in a timeout of a basketball game. You look for the kiss cam.BigSkyCatinMT wrote:Thanks, Dill. Makes sense.
