SNL makes fun of Sparty
If any of you saw last night, SNL had a very funny sketch which I believe was something of an insult to MSU. I looked for a Youtube video but this, none are available for last night's one but here is the first installment from October:

This doesn't make any bit of sense to me.

SNL is still on tv?

I hadn't watched SNL in years because it's completely unwatchable, but I decided to check it out when Charlie hosted because I figured there's no way they could screw that up.
1 laughless hour later I knew SNL was done for good when you can't even make Charlie Day funny, something I thought up to that point was impossible.

The best part of the sketch is that the show on immediately before this is called "Dickheads."
Allow me to 'cool story bro' for a second. My first cousin's an Israeli-Long Island girl who "went asian" about 10 years ago. Had this skit come out 10 years ago I'd have forwarded it to her and made fun.
But she moved to Japan to teach English in Sendai eight years ago. Her school was within the devastation area. As she described it, the tsunami wiped out 10 blocks here and skipped 10 blocks there all over the city. She got 30 kids out by running down a city bus driver and making him take them out of the city. Two of her students who weren't on the bus died, as did most of the parents of her kids. Her plan was to stay with her friends and neighbors but two of her old students, now college age, organized (i.e. bribed) transportation for her to get her on one of the planes taking Americans out of there. She came home for a few months and was on TV a lot for organizing pop Asian events for the gone-Japanese crowd in NYC to benefit her neighbors in Sendai. She's back there now teaching again, but the people she organized at home are still holding those events you'd never go to which are sending tons of aid money back to help.
I don't care that much about SNL making fun of any one group. I have that type of sense of humor. I guess I also want to say I'd never have even known this was a thing without my cousin, that apparently it's a big enough thing that it's helping Sendai rebuild, and I just wanted to brag that my cousin's a motherfuckin' hero.
