Yes you could. People need to stop acting so sensitive to every little thing. That's the problem. I think you could do just as much stuff you just need to be able to distance yourself from the audience cause half of the time it's just people moaning. I think south park has more than proved that you can do whatever you want

[@sisigpapi]

​@@Chriswallace0405 No, the climate's obviously different. People in the business themselves note it. When Steve Carrell himself mentions that a show like The Office likely couldn't be made today, I'd trust he knows what he's talking about. And the Office wasn't as perceptually offensive as Karl Pilkington going off on why he doesn't like China; one's scripted and the other is more off the cuff and real. I wouldn't be surprised if one day the Twitter mob goes after Karl for some shit like "a history of racially insensitive comments" or something With South Park, seems they're just the exception to the norm. They've had a history of doing that so maybe it became their brand and what they're known for
