SNL: Alec Baldwin

Alright, so SNL has been a huge source of comedy for years and years, mainly through an all-star cast and offensive and outlandish humor, however, some people can't seem to get a joke.  Last SNL, Alec Baldwin appeared in a mustache and uniform claiming to be a pilot, and made a "public apology" to himself.  This was a reference to an event that had happened earlier where he was kicked out of a flight because he didn't want to stop playing words with friends.  The airlines apparently don't know how to take a joke, especially a funny one.  They responded as if their entire profession had been ridiculed, and apparently the majority of the people offended, were not anywhere on the flight.  American airlines is, however, expected to be grouchy since they are going through a tough time right now, but seriously, if that was the case, they should focus on themselves, not "offensive" comedy from SNL.  When you get down to it, the point is comedy is hard to come by today.  There is the fairly easy genre of slapstick, but you can only drop anvils on people's heads and have people smack into painted tunnels so many times before it isn't funny.  There's also an immature genre, but seriously, fart jokes on South Park... well, not really funny unless you have the mental capacity of a two year old. Humor that is considered to be more sophisticated takes good time, energy, and thought to create, and what's even worse, it needs to be re-thought of fairly often.  The only reason that is so is because if you use the same material over and over, eventually, you'll end up like Jeff Dunham.  What I am saying is, if you are offended by good comedy, realize that it is merely a joke.
