Yes, many people are quite touchy these days..
The type that I often end up skipping is when you're having a serious
conversation about Politics or something and the Tagline that's
about to show up says something suggesting the writer is wrong..

Like:
'The moral majority is neither'
'A LITTLE knowledge is a dangerous thing'
'Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken'
'It's a shame that stupidity isn't painful'
'The trouble with political jokes is they get elected'
..etc..

Yes, or references to old television shows, or even actors, that have
been gone for 30 years..   B)
