George's cameo on Saturday Night Live, after Lorne Michaels had offered $3000 for a Beatle reunion:

Found this wandering around. It brought a smile, it's tagged Bush and The Beatles and The Pope

Is this offensive? I laughed. Was that very wrong of me?

Wow. Thats so funny. Havent laughed so much for a while. Thanks for that. Probably not PC and folks will complain but PC folks often complain about most things that the supposedly offended target group are either not bothered about or laughing at as well.

mja6758, love both posts.
I never get tired of Bush jokes.
I don't see the Imus bit as racist – and this is coming from someone who has a problem with all ethnic jokes. [Although many racist jokes are funny, when I tell one I usually leave out the race/country of origin/religion that is targeted.]
I think the concept of what the Beatles might have been had they been Black is brilliant.
Bet the Beatles themselves would have considered this funny.
I agree with the guys who wrote the skit: the best is "We all live in a Yellow Coupe de Ville" [Cadillac]

Had the execution actually been brilliant as opposed to shatteringly unclever, perhaps. Though I'd still question why someone would think it's funny to begin with. "Tyrone McCartney?" Really? I won't get into what they think passes as African American vernacular. Not surprisingly as this is Don Imus we're talking about, the entire concept seems to be based on stereotypes of Black people from the 1970s. The whole thing's just ugly.

Not at all relevant.

So what you're saying Parlance is that if you thought it was funny it might be OK, but since you don't then it's racist. I'm not sure I get that.
Do we know whether the skit is performed by Blacks or non-Blacks? THAT would be relevant, because if it's performed by Blacks (which is what I interpret it to be), then how is it racist?
If it's performed by non-Blacks, then you could certainly say that the skit panders to stereotypes – though to my ears it's funny (Submarine turned into Coupe de Ville, When I'm 64 turned into "Because I'm 6'4"" etc…); if you tell me that the skit was performed by non-Blacks then I'll feel guilty for finding it funny.

How do you know they're African American? I think that's a little racist. Somebody's black, so you assume they're African? They could be Jamaican, or Haitian, or wherever else.
Personally, I didn't think it was all too funny (though I'm not offended by it), and apparently, neither did the guy's boss, because he got fired for that.

Re-read the actual quote (not your selective version of it). I'm referring to the speech pattern, not the actual person delivering the bit.

The show was canceled for the nappy-headed hoes comment, not the Beatle joke. The video explicitly makes reference to this fact in the beginning.

The nappy headed ho thing is in that, so it was because of it.

I'm more offended because it was stupid than racist. A one-joke idea with the joke itself not being particularly funny. Not to mention alll that idiotic forced guffawing overtop to try and sell it.
