The line that is crossed is blasphemy, not just any offensive humor. And yes, if a show blasphemes other religions, and they object, it should be pulled as well.

That’s subjective. The publicity bump from this controversy isn’t.

Why don't people just not watch it if it offends them? Should we pull everything off the TV that offends anyone?
