Hello guys. So I was reading the news and everyone is mad at the host Seth Macfarlane because of his 'offensive humor'. Well, I think that humor is the best of them all if people take it as a joke, I guess people at Hollywood didn't.

This obsessively politically correct society can't handle the likes of Macfarlane. He was a good host. People just need to lighten up.

I'm certainly no fan of Seth Macfarlane, but this is just an example of people freaking out over nothing like they love to do.

If people don't like McFarlane, they should've seen who they were originally planning to get:

I'm not a fan of McFarlene but I didn't find him to be a bad or that offensive of a host. His most offensive joke was the Lincoln one and even that wasn't really THAT bad.

Freakin' PC whiners.

He's predictable and unfunny, but I can't really see being offended at anything he says.

There was a lot of those jokes where the offensiveness is suppose to be the funny thing, the Onion twitter did the same thing. Being offensive in place of actually saying something funny is a very, very tired way of trying to get a laugh, but then I don't expect MacFarlane to understand that because it made him rich. The new tradition seems to be picking hosts with "controversy" though, I remember James Franco and Anne Hathaway got a lot of hate a year or two ago.

Seth was really quite good imo. He was classy in the stuff he did, and quite funny in the stuff Shatner "stopped" him from doing. It was a nice blend of the stuff we would expect from Seth and the musical numbers from Billy Crystal.

Also I have seriously had the boobs song stuck in my head all day.

I have a serious crush on Anne Hathaway (seriously one day Anne will be mine), and even I admit those two were terrible hosts.

They're clearly overreacting, everyone knows it's not sexism when it's phrased as a joke.

I can be funny by saying something that's offensively true. The Oscars is run by out of touch old men who is easily conned into giving awards to films that are blatantly designed for winning Oscars. I'll get this underway because most of us here and watching wants this done as soon as possible. Unfortunately, for those who are here, we can't go to sleep during the awards. That would be the best case. Worst case, your fashion designer will have a heart attack once they see what happened to your lovely gowns after the ceremonies. Hint, the lucky ones are the ones wearing brown.

even though i dont like mcfarlane, his hosting is quite bearable and the jokes are not for too politically correct person. the chris brown joke does need to be taken lightly as rhianna is in seriously BAD relationship.

Yeah really...

Why would you bring on a guy like Seth if you didn't want any "offensive" humor?

He was one of the best hosts I've seen in a while, certainly better than Billy Crystal.
