It is funny, although in the Simpsons Universe, it should have been Steve Mobs, from Mapple. I unfortunately wasn't able to see the episode, because for some reason they played "The Cleveland Show" in that timeslot.
Amusing. People who find things like this offensive need to get a grip. I'm not saying you have to find it funny, but taking offence over something like that is just being stupid.
Same. I'm fairly indifferent. The Simpsons has normally done a decent job with not going over the "line" so to speak, imo, and this doesn't really either.
