Did you see the Michelle Obama skit on Jimmy Fallon's show this week?

I found the skit distasteful. It could be because I didn't find the jokes funny. But it seems to me that the girls were portrayed without any redeeming qualities. Maybe if I knew some preteens, I would have found it funny.

I wonder what other women felt about it.

Yellow-haired females are supposed to be put on a pedestal and Fallon's skit sort of ixnayed that. I loved the skit even though I have never heard of or watched the show it was based on.
