I have no issues with anyone (public included) feeling offended or not liking the joke.

What I don't like is BB giving her a warning over it, if Sarah wants to make controversial comments then let her.

I used to think this when Rex complained to BB over Alexandra's "Pow! Pow!" comment during BB9.

It's meant to be a social experiment, not a sanitized Disney production.
