I'm Offended At Being Offended About Everything
We're primates. We like fart jokes. We like poop jokes. We like sex jokes. We like to make fun of people who are different from us for whatever reason. But mostly, we like sex jokes.
No one likes being in the group being made fun of. I can get that.
However, I am sick and tired of people rising to umbrage on behalf of everyone else. I am also sick and tired of people who make a big show of being enlightened and all 21st century who get offended like some prim Victorian matron over sexual content because it somehow oppresses someone who doesn't feel particularly oppressed by the joke.
Forget the tut tutting and bring on the tarts and vicars!
