They call that offensive?
You know what offensive is?
"My son is a fat blimp pilot, and in the game that tham ther high-tech contraption tells him blimps aren't graceful. Well tootnanny, that just steams my mellon. Sure he may not be an actual eagle, but a blimp is graceful flight and how dare they say that! I called up the guy that sold that there game to me, he told me to call the store. I went to the store and they told me to go to the games department supervisor. Ya see! They're giving me the runaround! But thank God Almighty the media is on my side to help me turn a joke that didn't actually have the perceived effect I thought it did, into a crusade against the insensitivity of some writers that try to make jokes without sex or murder in them."
The bit that bugs me is that they chose the part where Weathly tries to be mean to Chell. Why not the part where GLaDOS teases Chell that she found her parents in storage? For an orphan, that part would have been a lot more aggravating. But hey, and I'm not making accusations, just putting it out there, the dad may not be smart enough to understand anything beyond "Nanny nanny boo boo stick your head in doo doo". Now I'm not trying to not be offensive with this post, but I believe that if I were to rave about how often my lineage and heritage and people and friends and family and believes and way of life and dreams are mocked, made fun of and demonized in the media, I'd die before I finish ranting.
I also find it strange that the girl's name is Zoey, as in Zoey from Left 4 Dead, played by the same actress that plays Chell. Coincidence, maybe, we'll let mainstream media sort that out.
