    Comparing lesbian mud wrestling to a sickly squirrel is a bit rude, even in the context of “what might best grab headlines”. I know it was a joke, but still…

    Equating people with animals, even indirectly, isn’t nice. It sets the precedent that there is a context where that’s acceptable, when that’s not acceptable in any context.
