This is actually a great example of not giving the person communicating the most gracious interpretation. Look, all I'm saying is we'd all be a lot better off if we gave each other the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the intent of our words. I'm not trying to comment on the facts of the story, but more the way the story made me feel. I'm definitely not defending the kind of speech that targets and ridicules a group, whether generated or otherwise. I wish I could do a better job of sharing my heart here. As for the comment about the commercial, it was a bit of a tangent on an already-off-topic rant, but I think it describes some of our self-centeredness as a culture. "Oh, if you buy our product you'll feel like spreading the love by..." just not being a jerk? The fact that they ran that commercial means they think it'll resonate with the audience.
