Nah, I don't get offended very easily either. Personal insults are really the only thing that do that. This is just a bit offputing. it's a combination of sorrow and confusion.
And I'm all for laughing at our mortality, as long as it not belittling other's.

: Well, you know... Yes, it's sad that there are people who must live in the clean environment of a plastic bubble, it's always good to laugh at our own mortality. Will you laugh at this movie? Maybe not, but really it looks like just the kind of purposefully offensive claptrap that I could really bust a gut on.
: Why would I go see this film? for the same reasons I'd go see J&SBSB... well not ALL of the same reasons. I don't know or care who the director or writers are, (though at least one of them has some good stuff under his belt) but it looks like it's just going to be a funny romp that doesn't take itself seriously... Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't a full pricer... I'll probably catch it on a matinee, but Jesus... life's too short... I just can't be bothered to be offended.
