The "Really" File - (SNL goes full Gen.6:5) ... along with a sidenote

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

"Saturday Night Live returned with a new episode on Saturday (April 3)....

To kick off the show, cast members Chris Redd and Chloe Fineman tackled the controversial Lil Nas X video “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”  — but instead of Redd (who’s playing Lil Nas X) grinding on Satan’s lap, he gave God a lap dance instead.

They also weave Lil Nas X’s inflammatory “Satan Shoes” and

subsequent Nike lawsuit into the skit. Fineman, who’s playing Britney Spears in an episode of the fictional Oops, You Did It Again talk show, asks Redd if the “Satan Shoes” contained real human blood as advertised to which Redd responds, “I don’t know why Nike is so mad. Their whole thing is ‘Just Do It.’ Well, I did it.”

Fineman then asks what Redd thought about the backlash he received and he calls his critics “closed-minded idiots.” He adds with a shrug, “People are afraid of me because I’m different, but really I’m just your typical gay, Black, country rap, sneaker entrepreneur.” HipHopDX

Side Note...Remember in the early 90's when Sinead O'Connor tore up a Pic of the Pope? 
---The SNL audience sat in stunned silence as disapproval.
---Now.....they think this Blasphemy is funny when God is mocked.
 
"The singer was performing a stark acapella rendition of Bob
Marley’s War when she produced a photo of the Vatican leader and shred it into tiny pieces while staring straight down the camera. The studio audience greeted the singer with deathly silence and the provocation made headline news the next day with the New York Daily News labelling her a “holy terror”.

The fallout was swift. Students from University of Notre Dame, a Catholic university, called on NBC to apologize for rebroadcasting it and called it an act of religious intolerance. The following week, Joe Pesci appeared on Saturday Night Live and condemned the incident and said that had it happened on his watch, he would have given her “such a smack.

A few weeks later, O’Connor was part of a start-studded lineup paying tribute to Bob Dylan. After being brought to the stage by Kris Kristofferson, she was drowned out by sustained jeers and boos."
