picking up on the point of not wanting to offend people in any sections of our society.

above last few mails[dicho,butch]reminded me of the film 'the producers'- the scene where the chorus line of female nazi stormtroopers are singing 'springtime for hitler'.

the audience [clearly, many of them appear to be jewish]are extremely shocked- mouths agape- until they begin to realise its being presented by the male lead as a parody-and all shriek with laughter.
