The surreal streak that ran through this week’s Saturday Night Live cold open continued into the show’s first sketch, a filmed piece that lampooned the collective freakout over Beyoncé‘s Super Bowl 50 halftime show and overall blackness. Cut like a horror movie trailer, the white characters are increasingly shocked and horrified to find out that many of “their” celebrities are actually black.

2. I haven't particularly liked/listened to Beyonce,

And generally pay no attention whatsoever to the Super Bowl, but after all the buzz I watched the halftime show online, and I thought it was great.

(The buzz I heard online was positive, and nobody at work talked about it at all. But they mostly ignore the Super Bowl, too.)

3. Just watched the recorded SNL

skit. It would be much funnier if there were less truth in it. But it was still funny.

I didn't see her Super Bowl performance but from all accounts by those I know who did, it was great.

If people like Rudy Ghouliani and his ilk are complaining about it, that is enough for me to be PRO Beyonce and support whatever she did. She's ticking off the right people, IMO. Let'em stew!
