hm. i haven't responded to this yet because it confused me/made me think and i needed time to sort through my feelings!
i think that what offends me about comedy is that people always make fun of each other for what they can't change. for what is [assumed] intrinsic to them. ie, gayness, body type or race. but when people make fun of other people for interests or beliefs, that might be funnier (it's been a long time since i've seen a standup comic, much less one who didn't offend me, so i'm taking the "might" route here).
