About

We at Is It Funny or Offensive are fascinated with the debate in the zeitgeist about what’s considered “funny” and what’s labeled “offensive,” and until now there hasn’t been a specific destination to host that dialogue. This is that site. When it comes to the funny or offensive debate, extremes range from arguments about freedom of speech to vehement political correctness – with at least 50 shades of gray in between. As with many things, the gray areas are often the most interesting. Few people are indifferent about this topic. We each have our own way of drawing the line, but that line tends to move when suddenly we’re the target of a punch line.
