I would not call myself offended, but I would not call myself pleased either. I did find the commercials funny on some level, but to suggest that this does not perpetuate a stereotype is also not accurate in my opinion either. Believe it or not, when people think you fit a stereotype (whether it is for officials or any other group), they treat you differently. And in many ways this stereotype is at the root of many of our problems and confrontations we have. If the average public realized how absurd their claims about officials were, they would stop repeating them. I see NASO's point, but I do not know if calling for an apology is going to solve it either.
