    I’m not denying that it was offensive (the show was designed to be offensive), but that people “took offense”. It wasn’t taken off the air, was it?

    I think it’s a bit harsh on SP to classify it for

    rebellious teens and adults who pretend they “think differently”

    as it always has been a satire show in the guise of “edgy and offensive”. Few other shows were willing to take on Scientology, images of Mohammed etc. For all that the show is juvenile and stupid, it uses that stupidity to barbecue sacred cows.

      It was very clearly written for males aged 14 to 18 and 18 to 25. Some 25 to 35 as well. TV shows are written for demographics and "rebellious teens and adults who pretend they ‘think differently’ " is a category. If you fit into the category, it may be hard for you to tell.
