The only way Cena can do "comedy" promos is with a bunch of bad gay jokes. Sad, yes. Offensive, no.

maybe not offensive to you since you're most likely straight

but alot of young people look up to CENA and since he says it well then they're gonna think it's ok to use those words

keep in mind there have been alot of gay teen suicides in the last several months

OMG. Were they related to Cena's promos?

It's tenuous to try and connect this stuff up with suicides because you're basically using the "TV/Video Games/movies/whatever makes you violent" argument, that the medium is actually dictating our behaviours and moralities. I know you're not referencing the kids themselves watching then killing themselves, but for there to be any sort of link, the reason has to be tied in somehow. Like, say, the people who bully them got their morality from WWE, the same way the Columbine guys "learned to kill" from Doom.

At best, you can argue it's poor taste, but I honestly doubt there's an increase in gay teens killing themselves, so it's not so much something new or shocking.

That's not to say "hur hur gay bashing is awesome." It's just saying "STFU with the Jack Thompson defense."

I never ever claimed it was because of the WWE

I'll shut up now

I see where you are coming from here but isn't it up to the parents to properly educate their children on what is or isn't okay to say?

Of course you didn't. The problem being, there's no reason to bring it up unless you want to equate the two.

Hence, the mockery.

Though WWE should totally have Cena rap people to death.

This. If you listen to John Cena before you listen to your own parents, thats a problem that starts at home.
