Its a joke... they are not endorsing homophobia by playing along with a joke.
To me nothing and no one is safe from comedy, i dont take jokes seriously nor do i see them as endorsement of anything.
Sure, if you are part of the new generation that seems to get offended by everything.
And no i dont see this as the same as the Gillette ad, THQ didnt made a an AD where they endorsed homophobia or shat all over their customers, they just played along with a joke.
If Gillette would have done the same thing (play along with a joke at the expense of men) i bet you the vast majority of people wouldnt have gave a shit.

I'm with you. I don't know why I just thought of Norm MacDonald. Guy is hilarious.
Unfortunately, comedy has been already affected by PC culture and it will just get worse from here.

Norm is great. My favorite actually. I love that on his podcast he tells very un-PC jokes just for the hell of it.
And THQ made a huge mistake apologizing. Just make a joke about it being a learning experience. Never apologize.

Have either of you read his book: Based On A True Story: A Memoir? If you haven't, and you're a fan, buy it.
