Do not know, but could some of this commercial be offensive in today's world?

Some PC addicts are so hilarious in their - as they see it - normal behaviour, that they do no more need to wear costumes indeed to be considered properly dressed for a costume ball.

Offense can't be given unless taken.

I'm not a deplorable..

I'm a Juggalo.

Would the PC crowd be offended if I dropped my nuts in their soup?

PLOOP!

No one can tell someone else what they should or should not consider offensive.

What I don't understand is why because someone finds something offensive that they feel that something has to change?

I am offended by a lot of things in life. But I don't expect people to change. I would like people to change, but would fight against any movement that would force/require people to change.

My bottom line

-I have the right to be offended by anything I feel is offensive
-Everyone else has the right to ignore me.
-I have the right to make personal choices based on my offended feelings
-I have the responsibility to accept the consequences of my personal choices.
- I have to accept that other people may simply not care what I find offensive.

But this whole concept that if "I" feel something is wrong, "you" must change is ... uh.. well ...wrong.

I think the key thing is whether someone is being offensive in order to deliberately provoke a negative reaction from someone or a section of society.

D'you think it might be one of those "fake news" stories people have been complaining about? Anyone seen one of those? I found this in one of my Angling magazines this morning, but I'm not sure it's for real:

YUL BRYNNER SLAMS LOOKEE-LIKEES:
Yul Brynner, who died in 1985, hit out yesterday at Stars who are imitating his unique hairstyle (i.e. none), asking why they can't find their own look. "I'm getting a bit fed up with it", he said... "It's not all beer and skittles being bald, why you have to wear hats that rest on your ears all the time, plus I never get offered parts as Santa Claus at this time of year... crazy!"

Yul Brynner yesterday: "I'm fed up with it"

"I never got to play Fidel Castro either", he added.
