Posted: 6/26/05 at 1:47amI don't know if this has been stated because I didn't take the time to read the entire thread because... I didn't want to... but I think that the only two ways in which anyone could be altogether offended by Avenue Q or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is if, A: they do not understand the humor or B: they have absolutly no SENSE of humor (I think there is a difference between those two things). I think that the humor is obvious in both shows and that the notion of taking anything in them seriously is ridiculous.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.

"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
