Guest, there's nothing bigoted about it. It's not insulting them for who they are, but for what they do - for example, ridiculous restrictions on who ppl can behave. And there's nothing wrong with a "stereotype", so long as you don't think everyone conforms to it - are jokes about Americans/Japanese on holiday, stiff-upper-lipped Englishmen and sex-mad Frenchmen also racist? If so, could you please provide me with a list of jokes which you find acceptable? I doubt the list would cover more than one page...

Graham.

PS. Bloody hilarious, Hille, top marks!
