D**k in a Box Censored!

How bout this? You're on SNL for the second time and the whole world could care less what you do, as long as you reprise your role as a lyric skewing mascot in a funny costume. I wonder if that's what Justin Timberlake was thinking last December when he hosted SNL's Christmas Show. Of course, he did the mascot skit--which, I have to admit, is probably the funniest reoccouring character played by a guest since The Continental by Christoper Walken. Anyway, imagine his surprise (or maybe not) when Justin woke up the next morning and found that everyone was taking about a new skit, a song performed by JT and Andy Samberg, the aforementioned D**k in a Box. Now why the bleeped our word, you ask? Well, that's how it appeared on tv, but the uncensored version can be found here. I strongly recommend taking a look because the random little ditty earned JT and Samberg an Emmy nomination! No joke. What's more is that the Emmy committee asked JT and Samberg to perform it at awards show, censored, of course. Read the full story here. While we won't know for sure what their decision will be until show time, it's reported that they have declined. Could it be because they don't want to recreate a censored version for the masses (hey, it's been a long time since the "masses" watched SNL and I really don't think they could find their way out of a paper bag online, let alone watch the skit on YouTube) or because the best song Emmy is given out almost a week before the broadcast, at the "your're important, but not that important" show, aka the Creative Arts Emmys. Whatever the reason, I hope they win just so some hoity toity presenter has to say that the Emmy goes to JT and Andy Samberg for "D**k in a Box"!
