I agree though. I just thought I'd make a funny picture of it

# oh, I know
my rant is directed at the media demanding everyone be offended by nicknames royals have for their mates, football chants, tv programmes etc. not at you.

Fucking ludicrous. It seems a tiny minority of people, no matter their race or gender or whatever, get offended by everything and complain about it. So a few complaints about a tv programme, in comparison to the millions who didn't complain, results in apologies and adjustments of guidelines.

Something not entirely right there.

# There was a Ladbrokes ad pulled
after ONE COMPLAINT...

www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/07/ladbrokes-gambling-ad-banned-by-asa

The Advertising Standards Authority received one complaint that the TV ads portrayed gambling in a context of toughness and linked it to risk-taking and reckless behaviour. (sounds like gambling to me...)

So the answer is to complain about ANYTHING that you don't like.

It'll reach the point when EVERYTHING gets complained about and people will start to have some common fucking sense
