Pssh Please. Obviously this is Walmart corp paying off people to say that ....

Joking aside, if we're to be sensitive about that, then we have to be sensitive about everything else around that same level.

Jokes and sarcasm are a healthy indicator of a free thinking society. Jokes seem like such a minor thing, but as a public we need it as a stabilizing force in democratic society. It's low-level free speech, but so very necessary in a democratic society. As long as it's not particularly egregious showing ample amounts of disregard or has no ill intent attached, it should ass the social sensitivity test... and even then, I think we can be a smidgen more sensitive on certain topics or circumstances (especially for more recent charged matters), but we should strive to not try to be so oversensitive that we suppress free thinking...
