People are too easily offended these days. Grow a pair and shut the eff up.

You also have a right to be bamboozled by people who are trying to create controversy out of whole cloth. Doesn't mean it's smart.

We also have a right to look anywhere else but at something that bothers us. It's like being offended by something on the radio: don't like it? Change the damn channel. Don't like something you see? Look somewhere else.

Right, but at the same time, people have lost the ability to have class. They are now doing anything they can to walk the line with the specific purpose of offending someone else.
