>> Being offended by nothing isn’t a sign of toughness. It’s a sign a callous indifference.

I never said I was offended by nothing — I said I am not offended by the intentionally offensive. The purpose of this stunt is to provoke outrage. Indifference is the only emotion that Family Guy writers do not want to evoke.

I choose not to participate.

The purpose of this stunt is to provoke outrage.

McFarlain is using public airwaves to attack a good family, mock their suffering and ridicule their beloved daughter and sister on a national stage. And you're going to let your own ability to devine the motives of a total stranger determine how you react... which is to conveniently to feel and do nothing.

Have you ever considered that maybe the purpose of this sort of dehumanizing "comedy" is more sinister than what you've considered? That this might be something more than a child growing older stuck on making benign fart noises in class? Or it is just easier for you to believe he's just trying to offend you so you can defy him and claim victory?
