Heh. It's me being an ass :) But seriously, I'm not flaming anyone here, and really taking a round-about way to point out that there's too much "inventing things to be offended about" going on in the world. I still haven't looked at the video, so maybe some of the things really were worse than the example Andrei mentioned or the joke I referenced above, but *if* these things are the sorts of things that piotrek and Andrei find "offensive to women", then I'd have to call a big "bullshit, this is just inventing blatant assumptions and then getting offended by them".
