I think the jokes are going to go on for a very long time. There are several reasons for this. I think the main reason is that so many other topics for jokes are just out due to the new era of political correctness. There are few targets left for a joke. You can't even get a good joke about three guys walk into a bar type stuff without a hate speech charge being levied. It's all off limits: retards, Polish, Chinese, Muslims, blacks, gays, rednecks, fat people--all off the table for jokes anymore. Pretty soon just by laughing you will be accused of bigotry because why else would you laugh?
Well,that leaves us with only a few targets left for jokes. Nobody outside of Pnnylion and his merry band of misfits and a few posters on this board posing as Pitt fans would ever defend a pedophile. Very few people outside of the Penn State football program would actively hide a serial pedophile. These people have been and are so smug, vile and disgusting that even in today's PC world, it is OK to rip them in jokes as much as you wish!
The other reason is their reaction to the jokes. This is far more entertaining than the actual jokes. The endless lawsuits from the Paterno family, the lawsuits against the university itself, voting guys like Lubeurano to the Board of Trustees. You can't write better comedy than this! And it is completely believable. Are any of you surprised by any of it? Not me.
So how long before the Paterno's sue SNL because Jay can't get a head coaching job because of their joke?
I think the punchline comes when the Clery report comes out.
