Not Funny?

How can it not be funny to see a frustrated viewer throw a television out the window because he is frustrated with the pitching. Assuming nobody is hurt, that is. Particularly in a comic?

According to Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post Writers Group, many find controversy starts when it is thrown by a beer guzzling father. And this after mention in the comic that someone has two mommies. And there is a talking penguin. Named Opus.

Are there really dads threatened by Berkeley Breathed referencing some unseen lesbian couple? I understand parenting is not the usual heterosexual menage a trois dreamed of. But still.... Our war is often with moms, but they are the moms of our children or the moms of our children's friends (and enemies). Two moms on their own seems like such a waste of ire.

Aren't there enough parenting worries to go around so that everyone can grab all they can without having to worry about someone else's?

** Alas for them, no lesbian can come any closer than aspire to be a whiny dad. **
