‘Bin Laden’ Blasts Ashlee Simpson’s Lip-Synching

This week’s opening skit on ‘Saturday Night Live’ took a swipe at last week’s musical guest Ashlee Simpson. The “Osama bin Laden” character remarked about Tuesday’s U.S. election: “You export our own perverted culture like degrading reality shows and, far worse, your lip-synching pop stars. What a disgrace. It’s one thing for a J.Lo to use a guide track. The woman does full choreography but a girl who doesn’t even dance to a ‘live’ broadcast? Where have your standards gone? Then she blames acid reflux. I’m sorry. That is just evil. So whomever you elect, consider your lost values. That is the bigger picture.”
