WIth regard to the advertising, I know we disagree about this, and I won't say another word after this one. Re-inforcing false and insulting stereotypes is never funny, imo, and does more damage than is worth whatever humor may be derived by some people.
I"m done.

FYI - yy relationship with my wife is great - which is why I can make that comment without fear, worry etc. I am not and was not airing "relationship problems" as you state. I am terribly sorry you feel so threatened by the comment. Perhaps the "stereotype" used in my post was insulting to you but I think it's pretty presumptuous of you to insinuate that this stereotype is false in all cases and causes "more damage than it is worth." This may be true for you - but hundreds of comedians have made careers disagreeing with you. Readers digest even says - Laughter is the Best Medicine! You may have your opinion - but please don't preach. I made a comment that was funny IMO - you didn't agree. You preached- I don't agree.
