The death of comedy

I get onto my son (and his friends) when he refers to someone as a ****** (although I don't have a real issue with "that's ********".) 

But in a comedy act? That's pretty much fair game. If people are offended, don't go to his show. There's non-offensive options out there.

Yeah I've been working a lot lately and haven't looked it up.  But I agree comedy does take swipes at people and even groups of people. When it comes to comedy...everything is on the table (at least it should be IMO).  Watched Bruce Willis's "Roast" on Comedy Central last night and it had it all White, Black, Female, Male, Jewish...all comedians, plus Demi Moore and Martha Stewart and hilarious watching them insult each other.  And in the end one of the comedian thanked Bruce (he got some digs in as well) for being such a good sport and said " hope nothing but the best for you, in health and happiness and I can't wait to see the next 'Die Hard...Natural Causes" Hilarious
