Most of the hof have extremely sensitive outrage triggers, and don't appreciate that sort of comedy, or sarcasm, and so on. So while lck's joke as presented garners a laugh or a head scratch, there is not the core of serious outrage merchants to turn it into a firestorm. I personally found the bit lame and unfunny, but tend not to be driven to anger by failed attempts at humor.
