Two nights ago we did exactly the same skit and we’ve been pilloried for it. It’s no defence to say that we didn’t think it wouldn’t have caused offence, because we’re all grown men now, not uni students, and we should have known better. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hey-heys-jackson-jive-explain-why-we-did-it/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hey-heys-jackson-jive-explain-why-we-did-it/#item1436 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 Have we grown up as a nation at all in the past 20 years? There’s never been an event more perfectly designed to answer that question than last night’s Hey Hey it’s Saturday reunion special. The Jackson Jive skit that sent Australian conversations into melt-down from about 10.30 last night is like a smelly time capsule that’s been opened up, in front of 2.6 million of us, and a guest no less. And in case there was any doubt about it, the guest’s face immediately give away what a stinker it was. The Hey Hey reunion specials should now be put reburied for good. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hey-hey-boom-harry-connick-jackson-jive-racism/ Have we grown up as a nation at all in the past 20 years?
