Rather like Eric Morecambe's answer to Andre Previn when the latter said "You are playing all the wrong notes!" and Eric replied "Oh no I'm, not. I'm playing the RIGHT notes but not necessarily in the right order!"

However, back to the subject. I can't say I particularly like the program and some of it does come over as tasteless but I think it is more poking fun at the fact that we tend to stereotype people rather than at the people themselves. It's a bit like Alf Garnet using all those non-PC terms. The joke isn't on the people he is calling c**n and n****r the joke is on people like him who use those words and showing how stupid and bigotted people can be.
