The thought of people being offended by wrestling amuses me no end.

A few, not in terms of me being like deeply offended but things like the Katie Vick tape, or the Colonoscapy, or the "Eddie's in Hell" things, then yeah I'm a bit digusted.

I've found many many things to be in bad taste (particularly during the initial DX run with Shawn and Hunter), but I can't honestly say I've ever felt personally offended. I think a lot of people who say they're offended, it comes down to the idea that kids are watching. But I've always and will always say that it's the parents responsibility to pay attention to what their kids are doing or watching.

Anytime an angle involves attacking religion is offensive to me (though brother love wasnt that bad since he never brought up religion really).

Not really offended, but the way the WWE treats JR like shit at any given oppurtunity is pretty tasteless to me.

Offended, never that I can remember. I have been disgusted a couple times though. Most recently with TNA running (what seemed to be) an abusive husband angle with Kurt and Karen not a month or so after the Benoit murders.

I'm not offended by what the WWE does so much as the reasoning behind why they do it. I feel like they think we're all a bunch of morons so they crank out idiotic skits. On the rare occasion where I do watch the E out of curiosity I always go back to the thought, "So this is what Vince thinks of me, eh?" and turn the channel.

The whole Vince Vs God thing was hard to watch.

I'll agree with those & add Muhammad Hassan to the list. I was fine with the "ambiguous" character he played at first, when his ski-masked associates appeared on the 7/7 SmackDown & AGAIN at the Great American Bash PPV a few days later... that was beyond tasteless. Nor was I a fan of the Un-Americans making reference to 9/11 & the Washington Sniper.

I voted a few times, but they're all related to the same thing:
the HHH/Booker T feud leading up to Wrestlemania. I was offended by HHH's and Lawler's NONSTOP racism and the fact that Booker T did NOT win the WHC title.
