What *I* find offensive is; cartoon mice that are used to confuse people about the motives of an evil corporation, a cartoon bird that can't fly that wishes to take over the world and, a cartoon operating system (has the magick number 98 in it's name) which has wasted my time this week, when I should have been studing ipfw rules.
