What exactly is offensive?

You clearly didn't watch the episode in question so I'm not sure how you can comment on it.


Furthermore, anyone remember the recent live Family Guy special? Deaf actress Marlie Matlin was "made fun of" on Family Guy and then on the live action special she appeared on the show in what was one of the funniest skits I've seen in a LONG time. Clearly she is aware that the has a "disability" and that jokes about it can be funny.
