Note to all entertainment professionals: Making fun of poor people generally isn't funny.
From the Bee:
A terrible mistake that someone thought up, wrote out, produced and probably had approved. Yeah.
From the always insightful (in matters of sex, booze, human growth hormones and homosexuality, as it were) Deadspin:
Let's hope clips of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis weren't being prepped for when the Celtics visit. Making fun of the impoverished is one thing, but making fun of the dead just crosses the line.
Also, people in Sacramento making fun of another city? I love the S.A.C. as much as the next guy. There's definitely something about a black, black kettle that should be in play here, though.
I mean, Christ, we live in a state that elected ARNOLD f'n SCHWARZENEGGER to govern us! Our collective judgment is already suspect.
Sacramento dissing Detroit is like Steve Rushin telling you your wife is ugly. The guy is married to Rebecca Lobo – his opinion on matters of beauty and the female form is officially moot. I mean, what's next? Dixon residents making fun of Galt? George W. Bush laughing at Jacques Chirac? Nagasaki taunting Hiroshima?
A low point for Sacramento, says I.
