That is a poor example for you to choose. Stephen Fry is completely and utterly right.
The Supreme Court also think so [1] as does the Rational Wiki [2] and Salman Rushdie [3]. Fry has expressed a sentiment that a great deal of thinkers and speakers have expressed. Others that have echoed his statement include Phillip Pullman, Penn and Teller, Christopher Hitchens, Lord Mawhinney and other legislators.
Celebrity endorsements run a distant second to the Supreme Court though.
I am unsure how that qualifies Fry as dumb as a bag of hammers? Do you think that people do have a right to be offended? How would such a right be defended?
