The Second Thursday Night SNL Special had a lot to love and a lot to loath.

Am I the only one out there who doesn't appreciate the tasteless David Patterson/Blind Man Gags?

1. I agree it is tasteless to make fun of his blindness.

2. Reality

Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback. I like slapstick as much as the next guy, but Patterson's blindness just seems like an incredibly cheap shot to take at the guy. Maybe its a New York thing that I don't get (maybe the media talk about it a lot there?)

3. Have they toned that aspect of it down since the first one? (oops, meant to reply to OP)

I didn't see the previous SNL bits about him, but I just watched this one with my husband, who is legally blind. He laughed at the blind jokes, though it took maybe half a second longer than his laughing at the New Jersey jokes.

When I saw this post, I clicked on it to see SNL skit. I was surprised to see it was just commentary. It should be labeled as such.

7. Review

DU only allows YouTube postings and NBC does not allow its content to be posted on YouTube, which is why I posted the links to NBC prominently with my video.
