I wanted to share a recent e-mail I sent to NBC/SNL:
On Saturday, February 24th I was watching Saturday Night Live with my wife awhile after we put our kids to bed. We were relaxing and hoping to be refreshed by some humor. The skit came on with the four guys at the table in the bar/restaurant. One of the characters out of the blue commented about how his father has Down Syndrome (there was a sigh of pity).
I felt a wretch in my stomach when I heard this. The audience on cue laughed though it seemed to die off quickly.
My oldest son upstairs sleeping has Down Syndrome. I'm so glad he wasn't older and awake with me watching SNL. I'm sure he would ask "Why are they laughing?" I would have to explain to him that the producers and actors on SNL thought it would be funny to have people picture the character's father as the stereotypical retarded, slow and limited person.
Congratulations on your new level of LOW.
I hope you are able to restrain yourself and not begin having a weekly character with autism run circles around the room. I hope you don't have a skit laughing about a girl that has one breast because of cancer.
There are certain things you don't tread on. Your show is already limited in its ability to attract a steady audience. You are on a downward spiral.

Boycott Citgo & Thank you Bush for the Drop in Gas Prices!
Why is it when gas prices surge, everyone yells at the President like he has the magic switch? He can yell at OPEC and tell gas and oil giants to change their ways but it really comes down to the people to make choices.
And yes, I do say BOYCOTT CITGO. Fuck you for your ranting and ravings. Pat Robertson just told me to tell you that you fat fuck. He's my spiritual adviser.
So the gas prices have taken a plunge and I have not heard 1 news agency polling people with their leading and loaded questions:
Given that you say it is Bush's fault when hurricanes come and destroy entire states and that when gas prices moving toward $3.50 is his fault as well, not to mention that it is his fault and the Repub's fault for not leaving Iraq when Dems never come up with an actual solution, Do you attribute the recent drop in gas prices to President Bush's economic policies?
I really hate when the financial report comes up on the radio or TV and they're like, well looks like the market took a dive today since Walmart said they'd no longer offer health plans and also because Cotonnelle lost 2% due to people not going for their pre-moistened toilet paper. There are so many factors you cannot attribute 1, 2 or 3 things to the market. Also major news events do not always cause fluctuations. When something major happens and the market goes up or down the media loves to play into that.
And about that stock market...reaching new levels. I have yet to hear 1 news agency come out with a poll asking if Americans think it is due to Bush's economic policies. It seems like about 10% of news stories (increasing around election time) are directly related to a loaded poll that they have rolled out.
We all know when the market tanks, it is Bush's fault.
