Yes, actually I am sad to say, one of my best pals doesn't like the shows "crudeness". I think its cuz he is a REALLY good Christian, and the show pokes fun at God and Jesus. I always tell him he is to easily offended, but he doesn't care. It's funny too, because he is a massive Family Guy fan, which makes fun of God too.
But I have never even come close to being offended. After all, its made to make you laugh! not to piss you off.

In a way it kind of promotes christianity cos of Clara. The strongest christian of them all! It makes fun of Jews sometimes and I am part Jewish but I don't care. It's funny!

Ya, it pokes fun at everyone. I guess you could say I'm Christian, (just not a good one ;D) and I never get offended. I think its interesting how easy people can be made fun of, and offended, for that matter.

I think as long as you can take a joke, that shows how mature you really are. There are some jokes that really hurt a person, but I think that's when you're directly aiming that at an individual and attacking their character. Most jokes about stereotypes are funny because they're derived from a small truth or from a common misconception that's hilarious.
I think you can still be a good Christian or Jew or whatever, or can still love Drawn Together no matter what race or sexuality you are, just as long as you still keep in mind how to take a joke and still be kind and considerate towards others.
I guess I haven't particularly run into anyone offended by the show, mainly because the people I know who would be offended stay clear away from it. I think people are finally starting to learn to stay clear away from Comedy Central if they're that easily offended.
Although what I don't understand is how some people who the shows make fun of still watch shows like Drawn Together and South Park, like the biggoted kids at school who just run around and say "Man, that's so gay" or say the n word in a negative way all of the time. They obviously don't understand that that kind of satire is usually aimed directly at them.
