That's a bit much. It IS offensive, regardless of whether or not it offends you or I, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say they opine to some extent. While they don't mean to make someone outraged, they work with shock value consistantly.
And no, it does not mean you are crazy if a joke offends you. That's absurd. A joke can offend. Just because you have built up a desensitized mindset, doesn't mean everyone has. Some people just can't laugh at some things, because some things are just too touchy.
Anyone who is offended at a joke, especially one obviously not meant maliciously, needs to get their head examined. I don't care who you are.
I could see getting up in arms over a joke at someone's expense that was intended to belittle someone. That I can fully understand, though I don't agree, and if people want to do that, that's there business.
South Park's humor is fairly obviously meant to poke fun at what Parker and Stone perceive as stupid. It's fairly obvious they don't mean any harm by it.
I stand by what I said. If you are offended by South Park, or any joke, you need to get your head examined. People getting outraged over harmless fun is a large part of what is wrong with society.
