SNL Parodies Amazon and the Kindle (NSFW!)

Sarah and I started watching “Saturday Night Live” again recently because one of our favorite sketch comedians, Kate McKinnon, joined the cast. Thank goodness for DVR, as it lets us skip the less entertaining sketches easily. It also allows us to re-watch the truly hysterical ones, like their flat-out brilliant parody of Amazon and “50 Shades of Gray“.

The video is highly NSFW, but it is completely worth watching … especially for the wink to why Kindles are advantageous to readers who value privacy!

Carly has been a gadget fiend for a long time, going back to her first PDA (a Palm M100). She quickly went from researching what PDA to buy to following tech news closely and keeping up with the latest and greatest stuff. She loves writing about ebooks because they combine her two favorite activities; reading anything and everything, and talking about fun new tech toys. What could be better?

I have always found that commercials on SNL have been a constant high point – I recall them doing ‘fall previews’ in the first season of shows like ‘The Cop With ‘Roids’ and ‘Battle of the Network T&A’ (which was a great send-up of the terrible ‘Battle of the Network Stars’) and so on. That one was great!
