Something Cowboy Pete Found Offensive

In light of recent discussions, some people might be wondering if there’s anything that I would find myself saying, “No, that’s not right; that’s not funny, that’s a bad idea for humor.”

Well, yes, as a matter of fact.  It happened just recently on an episode of a series that I absolutely adore:  “30 Rock.”  They had a storyline that I thought was not only offensive but exceptionally ill-advised, and if I’d been in any sort of creative authority on that series, I would have made sure to smother the concept before it emerged from the writer’s room.  I cannot conceive how in God’s name it made it onto air.
