There are different shades of vulgarity. But not everyone is going to make the same judgments.

I'm not saying I don't see why this is offensive. But with the WWE, and with shows like Saturday Night Live, Crank Yankers, South Park, Howard Stern, etc...they set out to shock in order to entertain. That's just what they do. And at some point, they are going to push the buttons And everyone has different buttons. So at some point, the WWE is going to do something that pisses off everyone watching based on their own individula criteria. Some segments, like Eugene and Katie Vick and Bossman desecrating Show's father, are going to piss off a greater segment of the viewing audience.

I personally think that the Eugene idea is dumb. It's a dumb angle, it hurts Nick Dinsmore, and its a step back for Raw which has been on the upswing the last few weeks. But in the end, if you watch a show whose purpose it is to shock, then you can't be that surprised when your buttons gets pushed. If the WWE is going to try to be edgey, it's also going to go over the line.
