Right. Thanks for correction. I did it right in my distroprefs, but got it backwards in the email. And I agree on the offensiveness. Though while I'm not defending it, I will point out that is a reference to a particular style of juvenile American (?) humor. E.g. http://www.thejokeyard.com/your_momma_jokes/index.html So it sort of has to be taken in the same light as Polish jokes, redneck jokes, etc. The author was trying to be funny, not offensive -- or at least, humorously offensive rather than personally offensive.
