Live From New York... It's Saturday Night ... Plagiarism...

I had heard that I missed quite a good spoof on the presidential debate last week on Saturday Night Live. So, I was careful to tune in tonight in time to see the opening sketch.

I was disappointed. Not only did the actors bear no physical resemblance to their counterparts, but they had only the most feeble ability embody their physical or speech mannerisms.

But, the most upsetting aspect of the entire skit was that I was left unsure if much, if anything, in the presentation was original. For the most part, the actors merely repeated actual lines which had originally been spoken by the candidates.

Not only was I offended by NBC passing off this copied material as original, but also, as everyone is well aware, it was much funnier the first time.
