However, if laughing at a sexist joke I read makes me a bad guy, then yes, I’m one of the guilty ones. People are too thin skinned these days. People should learn to laugh at themselves more often and embrace their imperfections. I have flaws and family and friends call me out on them all the time in humor. But I guess that’s just the way we are and not all are the same. These are the people I love being surrounded by in both work and home life.
I understand what your saying tho.
This is the part of this mindset that baffles me the most. Back in the good ol' days you couldn't show a married couple in the same bed, couldn't show a toilet on TV or an album cover, say the word pregnant, or show Elvis' swiveling hips for fear of mass-hysteria. But yes, now people are super offended about stuff.
Hell, when I was a kid Mortal Kombat, the Simpsons, and Beavis & Butthead were going to usher in the apocalypse. People have always been thin-skinned. With that being said, Jim Turner is a jackass and if the Steelers hired him we'd be laughing at what filthy jerks they are. I hope he's good at his job here, because he sure hain't winning any personality points.
