Harry Connick Jr. was deeply disturbed by this “Jackson Jive” skit on an Australian SNL-like show called “Hey Hey It’s Saturday.” Watch out for the impassioned lecture he gives at 4:40.

WALRUS: SO Big Al, In the Studio on ZFL, what did you want to talk about.
BIG AL: Uhh dunno, yeah i guess we could talk about a little famous aussie show that aired a segment that was seen as humour but Totally got blown out by some singer and now that show is global news with hatred as well as the country.
Wow, yeah well i actually thought i might mention this segment, to ask about opinion but wasn’t sure if it were to be relevant by time i head over in a week, well thats until i saw this video on The View and Inside Story and Usa Today and more so be able to give the Aussie side of the story because, this has shocked us in the drama its caused.

Certainly shows how stuck up and close minded we are in this country that something as stupid as this would cause so much drama.
