Some of it's funny; some of it's stupid and irresponsible. Lots of comedy is hit or miss that way, and although I suppose I'm not qualified to say whether the defensiveness here is justified, I can say without a doubt that you overreacted, Burn. You owe Rick an apology for insulting his intelligence (and disturbing that very fragile peace), and you owe an apology to the forum at large for your comparison. I'm obviously not a French Canadian and I wasn't offended by the skit, but I'm not black or Jewish, either, and even I was a little upset by the invocation of ethnic slurs for the sake of argument. You could have been sarcastic and kept in tact the integrity of your point without using the invectives.
