"SNL" -- You Can't Beat Us

Kenan Thompson"Saturday Night Live" will not let a silly little beating stand in the way of what could be a rating's bonanza.

Kenan Thompson told Us Magazine Chris Brown is more than welcome on "SNL" anytime, saying, "We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings! If we had them both on the show, that would be crazy."

But wait, there's more. Kenan says, "I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I'm just saying -- you have to learn that you can't put your
hands on a female."

Kenan calls the whole Rihanna thing "an unfortunate situation."

There's a Latin phrase, res ipsa loquitur. Translation: The thing speaks for itself.

46. Keenan is as smart as he is talented--which means not at all. His comments are offensive. He's the least funny guy on a not-so-funny SNL. So it's okay for a man to hit a woman, Keenan? Even more okay if it's a Black man beating on a Black woman? You have got to be kidding! There is no excuse for what he did. None. And Rihanna needs to grow up and do the right thing--which is to testify against him. There are reports that she is "torn" about testifying because she still loves him. And some people think this is "cute." It's not cute. If Rihanna doesn't testify, how will she feel when he beats her up again, as he surely will, or when he hurts or even kills another woman? Will she still be torn then?

47. Too bad he's not white or his career would be over.

Racist and misogynist statements are not politically correct Keenan, you unfunny overweight chimp.. oops, that's not politically correct either. My bad, maybe someone can FIX IT for you, ya unfunny hack.

48. Am I missing something here? As sexist as his comment is about "I know how women get when you get a text...." still, he clearly says "you have to learn not to put your hands on a female."

So he is saying it is NOT alright to hit someone. Some of the comments posted here do seem a bit racist, as if the black community is the only place where women get knocked around. Women are beaten every single day by men of every race, creed, nationality, income level, you name it.

And as for TMZ's lame attempt at using Latin.........give it up, you guys are not that smart, and even those who love to get the scoop from you know that you are not that smart.

49. The face of a future unemployed man.
What an absolute idiot.
He and Terrance Howard are idiots.
Howard talked his way out of a guaranteed blockbuster movie and this unfunny fool who is lucky to have that job has just talked his way out of it.

50. Chris Brown is not a bad guy just because he beat up Rhianna.
Chris, needs help just like Rhianna does. He is the type of person that cannot control his emotions, that does not make him a bad guy. It is something that he cannot help. There are alot of people out there with this problem.
He is probably one of the nicest people in the world but cannot control his emotions, or anger. Its like a chemical imbalance. So, Chris is a victim as well.
But since he now is aware of it, and has done damage, ...if he does not seek the type of help for that...then he is not a victim anymore. You cant just go to your mom and your church for help...this is a real issue. He needs professional help. A doctor in that field will know what he needs, wether it be counceling, anger managment, or maybe even some meds to calm him down. I know people like this in my own family. Their temper can be easily set off, by anything that they dont agree with, and they become very violent. Its not something that is simple....he really needs to talk to a doctor. Or he will have problems all his life, and may even go to prison.
To help himself , he really needs to see a doctor.

51. It's ironic Keenan THompson would say anything mysoginistic, considering 90% of his skits... he's dressed in drag. He's a drag queen. And his opinion is supposed to matter? LMAO.

EXACTLY! he was trying to be 'funny'/sarcastic in his comment, but clearly states his take on the situation. Some people need to learn how to read. Also, Its clear that abuse doesn't come in a color, everyone can experience it... It seems like all the prejudice people come to TMZ to comment sometimes... sad.

57. Yah bring the brother on.Us brothers beat our bitches all the time.No marks though Chris.

58. That's right Keenan. A brother is keeping it real. Nothing personal. Just business as usual. To the Rihannas and Chris Browns, "Those who throw punches should be prepared for the consequences".

59. The pictures of Rihanna are horrible too see and should never have happened. But I'm typing this sitting here at a buddies, with a black eye and a chipped tooth from my EX girlfriend after she accused me of cheating and thru me out of OUR place. I dont see any cops coming to my rescue or arresting her ? I dont see any homes or government places for me too sleep ? Its a 2 way street people !!! So maybe Rihanna did start it. But no argument should lead to a violent act.
Violence BY women is increasing every year I've just been reading in a news report. I read that too late.
Who is Keenan Thompson?
