Not much more to say, just a funny clip worth watching.

Here is a little saggin’ history:
“In prison you aren’t allowed to wear belts to prevent self-hanging or the hanging of others,” said Mathis, who at 17 once served eight months in jail. “They take the belt and sometimes your pants hang down. The same with no shoestrings in your shoes. You aren’t allowed to have shoestrings. Many cultures of the prison have overflowed into the community unfortunately.”
Saggin’ also has sexual connotations in prison.
“Those who pulled their pants down the lowest and showed their behind a little more raw, that was an invitation,” said Mathis. “[The youth] don’t know this part about it. I always tease and tell them that they better be careful because some man who has been in prison 30 years who comes home and doesn’t know any different may think it’s an open invitation.”
So while watching SNL last week when Lil’ Wayne came out with pants about to fall off, it made me wonder if others besides the fashion forward (10 years back) see this as ridiculous as I do.
The fact that you have to shuffle because your pants are falling down, that nobody really cares or want to see your boxers, that you always have to pull up your pants because they are in permanent fall-down state does not make a fashion statement or dictate what your interests are. It just makes you look like a fool.
Again, I’m not pretending to understand or follow fashion, I’m older than all the kids dressing like this but it has to be one of the most absurd trends I have ever seen, especially since how it started and that it has grown and moved into the skating community is just bizarre.
Skin tight jeans, drain-pipe legs but jeans that look like they are perpetually falling down and make you walk like fresh meat in prison is just crazy to me.
I know it’s a rant and I’m probably missing some cultural reference here but every time I see this, it makes me cringe.

Pretty good opening but the rest of the show and the musical guest Lil Wayne sucked (I have the video of his first song to post later), I will focus on the poor fitting pants.
Michael Phelps tried but he is no actor and the writing seemed like the writers are still on strike. Even the digital short was worthless. Not a great season opener.

NBC has announced that they will take Jimmy Fallon under their wing by making him the next ‘Late Night’ host.
Fallon is succeeding Conan O’Brien as the host of NBC’s “Late Night” sometime in the middle of next year. NBC on Monday made official a plan that’s been talked about since 2003, when a network executive first broached the idea of doing a talk show with the former “Saturday Night Live” star.
NBC plans to have Conan head west to take over the “Tonight” show for Jay Leno next year, so don’t worry he isn’t out of a job folks.
I personally am excited to see how Fallon will do in a host job. We all know he has talent, especially in comedy thanks to SNL.
“It’s going to be a grind, it’s going to be hard, but I’m going to go at it full force,” the boyish-looking Fallon told reporters on a conference call. “The fact that I’m stepping into David Letterman and Conan O’Brien’s shoes is very exciting.”

The scene starts out with the heated boring debate that took place the Tuesday before.
The Hillary parts were dry, but listening to the Bullwinkle, I mean Obama impression, that was funny.
Here is the SNL | Barack Obama opener, which was pretty good at the time, and his ever enticing top ten list of campaign promises. But don’t forget the Viva Obama, these amigos support Obama.
