i didn't watch the emmys on sunday, but from what i heard, there was a skit about the tv show LOST where conan was in a plane, it crashed, and acted out some scenes from the show.

then, you have people who take things a bit too seriously. yes, i understand there was a plane crash and people died that same morning. BUT, the sketch was for a tv show, and was not making fun of random plane crashes in general.

do you think those same people are offended by skits on SNL that are making fun of saddam or osama?? heaven forbid that we're allowed to laugh at anything that could be taken completely out of context. "so a man walks into a bar..." "wait, wait, stop the joke. i have a friend who's in a wheelchair. he can't walk." where do you draw the line?? it's not a dead baby joke for crying out loud. if there was ever a line, that could be it. :)
