NBC New Year’s Eve Mocks Pearl Harbor Survivors As Only Able to Chew SpaghettiOs

On Pearl Harbor Day, Campbell’s got in a lot of trouble when it tweeted out a picture of its SpaghettiOs mascot holding an American flag and asking people to "take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us."

On NBC’s “New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly,” actress and comedienne Natasha Leggero disgustingly joked, “It sucks that the only survivors of Pearl Harbor are being mocked by the only food they can still chew” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

These people have no respect, no reverence, for anything that does or ever has made America great.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being. And what a pathetic way of looking at life.

She’s just another “shock comedienne”. She’s a carbon copy of that skank Sarah Silverman.

Another incredibly unfunny “comedienne” who relies on vulgarity and insult.

All she does is trash anything and anyone. It’s ugly and boring.

No idea who she is, never heard of her before. I’m not even going to bother googling her - won’t give her the “fame” of rising in popularity of searches. She can slip back to the slim she briefly emerged from.

Help me out here. I don’t have TV( and don’t want it) It sounds like Campbell’s was trying to do something patriotic, albeit in a clumsy, ignorant way. But I didnt see it. What about it was mocking or controversial? I don’t really care about Natasha Leggero, but am curious about the original spot.

Get a TV, make up your own mind.

“It sucks that the only survivors of Pearl Harbor are being mocked by the only food they can still chew”

I have no idea who this woman is, so I'm not defending her, but I wonder if this has more to do with the chronological age these people would be, and not a non patriotic statement. Doesn't make it any less shocking though. If not, then I don't even understand what she's implying.

Yes, it has a lot to do with that. Also they don’t learn a lot of history in the schools. I think that World War II may be especially shortchanged.
