Saturday Night Live Mocks Orland Park Public Library’s New Porn Policy Posted By Megan Fox On November 18, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Humor,Television,Uncategorized | 6 Comments

When I uncovered the open viewing of pornography and the sex acts that naturally go with such a thing at the Orland Park Public Library, I had no idea how crazy and out of control this story would get (police harassment, faked documents, and actual flying monkeys). It took on a life of its own. A video of the library board behaving terribly toward concerned patrons has now garnered over 12,000 views on YouTube, the mayor of the Village of Orland Park has weighed in on the side of filters, every news network has done the story locally (and some nationally), and, a few days ago, this appeared in the New York Post (sent to me by my best friend who lives in New York, who unfortunately had just taken a sip of coffee when she spotted it and spewed brew all over the paper). Found in the “Weird but True” section:

And if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, the writers over at Saturday Night Live read the New York Post! During the show’s Weekend Update segment, Seth Meyers nuked OPPL and its ridiculous “ID” solution. Unbelievably, the board is still sticking by their “free porn for all” policy even though people can access any illegal child porn, bestiality, or whatever else you can think of in the name of the First Amendment. Wouldn’t Jefferson be proud?

SNL isn’t usually a show with any common sense so I’m thrilled that Meyers took a whack at “people who look at porn in the library,” because, let’s face it, that’s the real issue here, isn’t it? What kind of people do this in a public library? They should be publicly shamed! Nicely done SNL.

Keep it up OPPL…maybe The Tonight Show is next!
