Special Treat in a Box

Censored SNL sketch jumps bleepless onto the internet. The nearly three-minute digital film, shown on “Saturday Night Live” last Saturday, was a parody of two boy-band singers (including one played by the real Justin Timberlake) crooning a holiday song about making a gift to their girlfriends of their male anatomy, which they appeared to have wrapped in boxes (strategically placed) and then topped with bows. It is the first scripted comedy on a broadcast network to use the Web to make an end run around the prying eyes of its censors. The skit was pretty funny even censored. If you missed it, you can catch the uncensored version on YouTube
