There are plenty of thick people out there, I fear they are the majority.
I'm fairly sure that the average guest list for the Jeremy Kyle show would struggle to hit an IQ of 60, collectively.
On the flip side, as I have always stated, if you're offended by something....so what.
Being offended is a personal reaction to an event that only affects you, and you alone. Just because you may be offended doesn't mean anyone else is, or that any apology is required.
So if you're offended, be offended, but do so quietly.

Well Winston Churchill chose his victims carefully..and for a good reason.I very much doubt he would have abused anyone who was intellectually challenged because it just isn't good sport.He was after all, considered a gentleman.
