I guess when they say “It’s All Relative” that refers to use of political correctness too. Apparently, it’s only okay to be offensive if you are some kind of left winger.
Now that I’ve had the night to sleep on it, the promos for “It’s All Relative” give the gay community a pretty hard time also. I guess this show is an equal opportunity offender that is banking on the insults of the two opposing views cancelling each other out in the eyes of the general public.
