We quote briefly from the AP dispatch on island reaction to a Saturday Night Live comedy sketch, poking fun at the aggravation of dealing with tourists.
"The four-minute skit, an exaggerated portrayal of how annoying and frustrating it can be to deal with tourists, depicts a pair of disgruntled locals who sing and dance for mainland visitors."
At one point, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, tells a gushing tourist, according to the AP: "It's a fun fact about Hawaii. Our biggest export is coffee. And our biggest import is fat white tourists!"
Thought the clip is reportedly one of the most popular on GE's Hulu.com site, island tourism reps are not amused, calling it "offensive" and coming at a bad time when the weak economy is taking a heavy toll on the island's big cash crop: tourism.

Well, one things for certain, we won't poke fun of you for booking our humble little abode, ho, ho, ho, hula, hula, hula...though we acknowledge, fat white guys can be funny, funny, funny. So lighten up, all, eh?
