| Not that you should believe everything you read on the intrawebs.... but everything is relative to your frame of reference. Down the street from me people are injecting heroin and find that perfectly normal - however it's not normal to me. In your case, you do not find it offensive, however in other areas of your own country (and perhaps even your state) it would be found to be very offensive. In case you haven't noticed, twinturbo.net has global reach. Welcome to the internet. Wikipedia article on "Jap": La-Z-Link Wikipedia article on "Brits": La-Z-Link Note the difference in those articles (not that you'll bother to read them I suppose). The proper thing to do in this instance is to realize that perhaps Sponge fell into one of those demographics that's offended, but instead you take the low road and continue to berate. Pathetic. The excuse of "political correctness" and the need to tiptoe is also a bullshit one. Fact is, North America is more of a cultural melting pot than ever, and the emergence of the internet has made that even more prolific. It's not about political correctness - it's about respect for your fellow human beings. -jb
