Seriously.... is ANYONE offended on the Family Fued skit that used Mackenzie Phillips tragic past??? To make such fun of horrible occurances is just disturbing and mortifying and I just can not believe how below the belt that was. Do the writers lack such talent that they have to go that low to find something funny??? Who the heck raised you all and how can you think that would of been funny?? Where are your morals?? I have watched SNL for almost the entire time it has been on the air and never have I seen such purpously offensive skit. How can you all be sooo heartless and sooo cruel just so you think this will get you ratings. Where is your head and your hearts???? You all are very immature and have no soul if you think that kind of skit is perfectly fine to poke fun at.

I was not offended. I thought it was funny. It was not below the belt. I think the writers are funny. I think they have morals. I dont belive that you have watched the show for this many years. The writers are not heartless and cruel. I perfer spades while playing cards. I think they do have souls since they are still alive.

I like ham not that it matters.

Who wants Bacon?

Okay, maybe it's just me. But if Mackenzie Phillips didn't want her tragic past being poked fun at, then maybe she shouldn't have written a book about it, and released it to the world so she could profit from it.

I don't care who you are, when you enter the public eye for personal gain, you are selling your privacy and you have no right to complain about the loss of it. It's the ugly side of fame that no one likes to think about, but it's a reality for everyone who chooses to pursue celebrity.

You might have a leg to stand on if the subject was someone who was thrust into the public eye against their will, like Elizabeth Smart for example, but that is certainly not the case here. Whether or not the sketch was funny is another matter entirely. As for the subject matter, it was absolutely fair game and not in any way "below the belt."

I have always been a big SNL fan, but the Family Feud sketch was the most offensive thing I have ever seen on television! The SNL writers and whoever-the-censor-is at NBC should publicly apologize to all incest survivors and the families who have been hurt by incest. The Phillips family should sue you, and I hope they do!

I agree. No one would have even thought of such a sketch if she didn't reveal this secret to the world.

As an aside, I know a lot of people said she revealed it in order to heal. Fair enough, but she could have told a therapist or a priest/spiritual leader. I don't see how my knowing this terrible thing is going to help her heal.

I laughed, but not much. This skit was in very bad taste.

I think you are absultely right if mackenzie didn't want her private information to be poked and made fun of she should have NOT writen a book about it!

Also i think the writers DO know what funny is and do have souls and to say something like that is just as souless!

I'll assume the original question on this thread wasn't rhetorical and answer...............maybe.

Hmmm, lets see. Making fun of a junkie lying about her deceased father in an attempt to boost her book sales.

I can't say I'm offended by that.
