Wow, that didn’t take long. After I posted my dismay at what I perceived to be a personal insult during last week’s SNL, a spokesperson for the show heard your rage and commented thusly:
"It was not personal, just comedy… and it was Kuntsler, with a K."
Do you hear that, PopWatchers? You are a group to be reckoned with! Sure, we’re no Colbert Nation (or even Claymates, for that matter), but your voices have affected powerful change, and all is once again right with the world! Now we can all watch the show this weekend with open hearts and minds, which is very exciting, because really, AFI is a totally kick-ass band — and if they’re half as good as the Shins were last week (Can you believe they played "New Slang"?? Oh, the joy!!), we’re in for a treat.
Thank you, SNL, for the comedy… and for the apology. We’re good.
And for everyone else there who wants to take on the strength of the PopWatch army: Let this serve as a warning to you. Don’t make us put your head on a spike outside the castle of our souls. We won’t hesitate, and we strike with deadly force! Like ninjas with ponies!
You Don’t Tug On Superman’s Cape
You Don’t Spit Into the Wind
You Don’t Pull the Mask From the old Lone Ranger
And you don’t cross Whitney
So if I write here that Kristin Wiig is hot, and I’d like a date with her, can PopWatch make it happen?
Please?
Kristin?
Tremble, once-great sketch shows! Bow before the wrath of the bored American office worker!
p.s. What do you think a ninja would name his pony? Tiddlywinks of Death? MoonbeamBloodkiller? Butterscotch?
Chaddog-
Don’t fret, as Popwatch wishes do have a way of coming true. Most the stuff I’ve wished for on these comments pages has somehow happened soon after my wish was made. Keep an eye out for Kristin, as she may be ringing you sooner than you think…
Ninjas are swift. Ponies are swifter.
Oh Lord.
Rosie and Donald, should take a cue from SNL and Pastorek.
The PopWatch crew is as fierce as Rosie is vocal. Nations very well could fall under the sharp edge of our words! Cross us not! Yeah yeah, enough of that…we rock. Who’s next?
Too bad “we” can’t boot out Lorne Michaels and put someone (who still knows what consistent comedy is)in charge of this sinking ship.
…but how do we know this whole thing wasn’t set up, Whitney already had the “apology” (not much of one by the way…don’t see the words “We’re” or “sorry”) and set it up so we thought we’re the ones that elicited it, when she had it all along. Just sayin’
does this mean that you were actually offended? i thought you were joking
Whitney, I love the hilarity of everything you say (actually, write). “Don’t make us put your head on a spike outside the castle of our souls. We won’t hesitate, and we strike with deadly force! Like ninjas with ponies!” I think that will me my new catchphrase, or at least the thing I say a lot in hopes that I am cool enough for it to be considered a catchphrase.
What? They didn’t apologize.
Is naval gazing really a journalistic pursuit?
sorry but AFI sucks. well their last three albums do (when they sold out)
Have to agree with dubs, AFI is a horrible, whiny emo band. But we shouldn’t be surprised, in the previous post Whitney gave love to My Chemical Romance, a possible even more horrible band
