You do realize that back in the "good ol days before everyone got offended so easily" that people were freaking out at the concept of Elvis dancing on television and Lucy and Ricky sleeping in the same bed, right?
As for Jim Turner, I'm neither offended, nor impressed by the scandalous aspects of his resume.
EDIT - Listen, I'll play devil's advocate and I'll take any side for the sake of a debate, but I'm not sure why people are assuming that I'm offended by Jim Turner and/or don't want him here.
I get what you are saying it is just nowadays everyone is on facebook and crying about teams named the Indians and Redskins and stuff like this. People get fired for talking about someone painting their face black for Halloween for a costume of a famous black guy. I mean some of this stuff could be taken as a token of respect and instead people just take everything so serious today.
Jerry Seinfeld says he cannot even do jokes now at colleges cause the young people of today have no sense of humor.
BTW, i am not assuming that of you about Turner.
