For some reason the NBC site keeps saying I need to install adobe flash player even though I already had it and have updated it twice now.
When someone refers to Johnny Weir as a figure skater - okay then! But more often than not they say "Johnny Weir the gay figure skater" (or even worse!) They certainly don't say "Charlie White the STRAIGHT figure skater!" Why does there even have to be a differentiation? They're both male and they're both figure skaters. That's what I found tacky about this skit! The differentiation and the stereotyping. The fact that I also didn't find it funny was yet another thing.
I think the point of the sketch was to poke fun at the ridiculousness of the Russian law, rather than making fun of gay and straight men.
Not really. The sketch is created through a prism of American stereotypes.
What browser are you using? If it's like Chrome with a built-in flash player, then you'll have to choose it in the Settings menu.
