Too many people can't take a joke. I know I am the white devil, drunken irish leprechaun, cracker that my black roommtes call me, and i am fine with it. my roomates know that they are the big lipped, chicken eating, listening to too much bass and no real singing, broke mofo's, and they joke about it.
The worst thing thing about our society is that instead laughing at the joke that rips on us, they try to rip on the writers for being unsensitive. Many times there is some truth to the jokes (ie. The Irish drinking a lot of Guinness, or black people not knowing how to be quiet) So, there should be some cushion room on jokes, since without picking on something or someone we don't have many of the great comics and comedies of our era.
point taken, i just seem to remember the feminists being really P.O.'d at him for a lot of his jokes.
