Australians, furious at Harry Connick Jr. for getting upset by that whole blackface thing, are cheering the emergence of this 13-year-old clip from "MADtv," which apparently exposes Connick as a hypocrite because he is, uh, playing a southern preacher next to an actual black guy. As one of the many YouTube commenters to the clip notes, "By people comparing this, it's apparent that many Australians don't get what blackface is. No wonder why they are left scratching their heads about the whole incident." Exactly. Australians: too stupid to be racist?

"Hey Hey It's Saturday," an Australian variety show that ran for 28 years, recently aired a reunion special in which they brought back some classic bits, including this performance by a Jackson 5 tribute group called the "Jackson Jive." You know what never gets old for the folks on Prison Island? Blackface! Oh, how they chuckle! Somewhat less amused was American celebrity judge Harry Connick, Jr., who helpfully explains at the end of this clip that those of us in this country "have spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons that when we see something like that we really take it to heart." Indeed.
