It isn't about being offended (I wasn't). It is about thinking and caring about other people, and knowing that if something might really upset them for personal and private reasons (not just being offended for the sake of it) it might be wiser just to not bother doing it in that case. Other shows you expect and sometimes look for that sort of thing in - it just wasn't a norm for Ant and Dec I think, and that's why it felt a bit uncomfortable.

I don't think anyone is having a pop at anyone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion - that's what DS is for. Just putting in my two penny worth.

Why?
It never even crossed my mind until I started reading this thread and even then I was thinking what IS the OP on about. |

It didn't offend me as such, but I did think it was in poor taste.

I was neither offended, nor did I care.

It is played to remember the war dead, not for the eviction of a reality TV contestant. Highly inappropriate.
But I do agree, given what it used for most these days, it was inappropriate.... |

Inappropriate I can agree with. It's the OTT "Sickening, disgusting and outraged" comments that annoy me. Get some perspective.
