Hmmm...offended is a strong word and brings up connotations of conservative housewives being 'offended' by 'nasty' films on video. But moving away from that image....what offends? I'm actually struggling to think of anything that I've found offensive. Bloody hell, I must be even more jaded and depraved than I thought.
