Someone is bound to be offended by this...

...so don't blame me. You were warned.

    I was offended by two things:

    1. His language - anyone who's good could probably get a laugh without the language he used.

    2. His generalization of Christians and the word he used to describe them. I wouldn't say that to anyone, and if I were a woman, I would be offended by the very use of it.

    But this is a free country - although was this in England? I think there was a reference but the sound quality was semi-poor.

    That aside, I did laugh at the 'perhaps you should get a trade' and the 'that's the man that built my gazebo' jokes. He got a laugh from me without using obscenities and I don't feel it was blasphemous in any way. But his overall act was offensive to me for the couple reasons above.

    I was offended that he didn't use all seven of the words that most offend Christers.

    He's Australian. This is how we speak pretty much all the time. Swearing is the Australian equivalent of punctuation. Don't judge us because of that, it's a cultural artifact in the same way that Japanese people often bow. We are descended from convicts, after all.

    Technically England is a free country too, by the way.
