Harry Connick Jnr is a Hypocrite
Big kerfuffle Downunder in Australia as Harry Connick Jnr accuses an Australian act on TV show "Hey Hey Its Saturday" as being racist - and the world's press beat-up the story. I don't see it as racist at all. But the same skit performed in the U.S. most definitely would be. But the funny part is Mister Harry Connick Jnr can be accused of the same thing. Check out this vid where he's impersonating a black preacher on MAD TV. See the thing is, you Yanks don't get our humor. What's offensive to you is perfectly acceptable to Aussies - even black Aussies, I'm betting. But there again, I'm not black. If anything were offensive in that skit, it was the whole Jackson Jive thing.
So, you know, "when in Rome" Harry Connick Jnr.
