Stephen Fry Is Offended You're Offended

Something to keep in mind for Election 2012 debates and beyond.

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

I guess you have to have BBC on your TV (I don't, so a friend DVRs them for me). They have released some seasons on DVD (maybe your local library has them?).

There are tons of clips on youtube. And I'm sure there is someplace to discreetly download them on the internets (if you know what I mean )
