Jonny, AI went PC back around the 2nd season, and it's gotten more pronounced over the years. These days they are deliberately cutting more talented people just to keep the "right" mix of race, ethnic background, and gender. Gender, of course, to include flaming gay men. Lesbians are not as obvious sometimes, but I'll bet there are at least two or three in the top 36.
SInce when did Affirmative Action extend to raging psychotics?
They sure gave us no reason to doubt that tonight :-/
