Saturday Night Live Doesn’t Know When Enough is Enough
3:21 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Entertainment · 2 Comments
18 Dec 2008I’m a little bit late on posting this, but it’s important nevertheless. Fred Armisen is just about one of the most irritating a-holes I have ever witnessed. He is a biracial (German and Japanese) man who presents as white who plays every ethnic character in the Saturday Night Line up, including Barack Obama, Prince, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
And now, he just put forth this little beauty in which he mocks New York Governor David Paterson:
Paterson rightfully calls out the show by centering the lived experiences of the disabled community and how representations of disability as bumbling and fumbling has consequences:
“I can take a joke,” he told the New York Daily News. “But only 37% of disabled people are working and I’m afraid that that kind of third-grade humor certainly adds to this atmosphere.
“Let’s just say I don’t think it helped,” he said.
Latino NYC Hood Is the Noisiest

New York City isn’t known for being quiet and peaceful. This is especially true for the uptown Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights-Inwood. According complaints logged by the 311 system, the city’s phone number for government information and non-emergency services, this heavily Dominican neighborhood is the noisiest ‘hood in the five boroughs. According to the New York Post:
…an astonishing 14,030 gripes about noise poured in July 1, 2005, to May 30, 2006, from residents in the Community Board 12 district, covering the blocks above 155th Street.
The reasons for the noise depend on who you ask. Some residents cite stereos, smoking, drinking, jumping, and crying while others cite airplane and helicopter noise.
