I am Asian and did not find the Dog House bit offensive, maybe because I am a flat-out homer or perhaps I know when something is a joke. In no way shape or form was that prank call mean spirited.
I do have a problem with some of my friends who are Asian and say that the bit was offensive. Well, let me ask you. When you laugh at all the racist jokes on television, i.e. Chappelle Show, it's ok right, because it is not about your race or nationality. However, when the arrow points at you, it's no longer funny. And that isn't just with this bit.
It seems like more often than not, people can't handle jokes that are about them or affiliated with them. But when it is about someone else or something not related to them, they can die of laughter.
Please, if it is offensive, it should either be offensive all the time and not just when you are the butt of the joke. So when you do laugh at someone else's expense, and won't play along when it's on you, you're the one who looks like the ass.
A whole lot more ranting in the days to come...
