Late Response to: Is this offensive?

I finally had a chance to review some blogs from the past and came across Mozzafar Youtube of Jeff  Dunham – Achmed the Dead Terrorist

Regarding comedy and religion, Professor Mozzafar asked “Is this offensive”?  I did not personally find it offensive at all, but rather very funny.  Sometimes it helps to laugh at ourselves and to also realize no one seems to be free from stereotypes.  I forwarded the Youtube to other friends not in class, but I also politely made sure it would not offend anyone.  You never know.  I also commented that they may be more comfortable clicking on it at home and not at work. 

When I go to the movies I go for entertainment; a comedy, mystery, drama, etc.  When I went to see the film “DaVinci Code” starring Tom Hanks I went for the mystery element of the film, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and yet I heard people refuse to see it because  of the controversial interpretation of Christian history.   Oh well, whatever, I guess we can’t be too careful in offending others.
