This is how STUPID republicans can be (LTTE re: Doonesbury) [View All]

I was going to post "how stupid republicans are," but thought I'd cut some slack to the three or four who are merely misguided.

Offensive word in comic strip

In regards to the "Doonesbury" comic strip published Nov. 21: In the final panel, the word "vibrator" is used. I found this very offensive, and I am sure many other readers feel the same.

The comics are not meant to be a form of adult entertainment. These comics are read by families, including young children. Many kids are encouraged to read the funnies because the material is not challenging and also because it has been considered wholesome. Now many children will be asking their parents what the word "vibrator" means.

Adding insult to injury, this word was used by a minister. Portraying such a person this way is disrespectful to people of faith. I would hope that there be an effort to screen unwholesome, disrespectful content and that comics with this type of content not be published in the future.
