For what it's worth I'm not a huge fan of "erasing history" - I don't think there's much sense in pulling or censoring things that have already been made and aired, in time it'll only distort historical perspective. We can look back on old shows from the 60's and think "Ooooh, that wouldn't fly these days" and appreciate and understand why. I wonder how people will be able to do that in 40 years time if we pretend that shows from the 2000's never existed?

But I say that still fully recognising why it simply isn't funny for many people, and for many reasons.

Where do we draw the line though? There's no one-size-fits-all legislation for this. Humour can be cruel. And people are teased for all sorts of reasons

It does make me smile that this current generation of young people doesn't understand that this feeling that you're going to be the generation that changes the world.... are at the end of a long line of generations that thought the same.
