‘NBC’ Relents on Recommendation that Elderly Jewish Banking Couple Be Iced

I gather that NBC has after some delay posted the "Saturday Night Live" skit from the other night that savaged the banking couple, the Sandlers, and in doing so has removed the murderous words: "people who should be shot." From my favorite anti-terrorist site:

[NBC said,] "certain elements in the sketch didn't meet our standards. We took
it down and made some minor changes…" One wonders where the show's
legal team was before the skit aired.

Apparently, one of the
"changes" was the chyron at the bottom of the screen below the
Sandlers, describing them as "People who should be shot." …The edited version is now up at the NBC website.

    How about changing the subline to jailed, rather than shot?

    What's the big deal? The Sandlers should be shot along with every other banker that profits off the misery of others.
