Has anyone ever been really offended by the views and opinions (i.e. in the commentaries or bonus material such as interviews)?

Every DVD I seem to watch now has a disclaimer on it at the beginning reminding me that the views and opinions are those of the individual speaking and do not represent those of whatever company made the film.

I just wondered if there had ever been a case of someone suing a company because of something they’d heard an actor/director say on a commentary?

Or maybe I’m just not that easily offended.

You what?

They don't think anyone will be offended, they're just reminding you that they're the opinions of the individuals and not the whole company. This is so that you don't think that for example Warner Brothers hate hoes.

Or perhaps if Mel Gibson gives the commentary and says something he later takes back.

I suppose it's necessary in the case of people like Uwe Boll who delights in telling his audience that he funds his films with Nazi gold. You know, that guy that put on a PPV event challenging his critics to a boxing match. Because unless you can beat the shit out of him you cannot judge his movies.

I always thought he must have sold his soul to someone in order to get his films made.
