Saturday Night Live Sketch Skewers iPhone 5 And The Tech Press [Video]

Saturday Night Live might not be as funny as it once was, but last weekend the show recaptured some of the old magic on a very modern subject. A brilliant sketch hilariously pointed out the hypocrisy and navel gazing of the entitled first-world pundits who write about mobile technology. If you haven’t seen it, you definitely want to watch it now…

This sketch cut pretty close to home, even naming names of some of ReadWriteWeb’s competitors – though frankly it could have been any of us. 

My two favorite jokes in the piece?

1. The classic Chinese satrical dance.

2. “Diabetes.”

Do you think the sketch was fair, or did it go too far? Or maybe it didn’t go far enough?
