Stephen Fry made a joke on tv to a close friend of his who he was then seen with afterwards and both were perfectly happy with it. **
Then he gets inundated on Twitter with abuse for saying something terrible - even though it was intended for the person he was standing right next to - and is a good friend - who took it
as it was intended.
Fry then quits twitter saying that people are just out to be offended and to be offended " on behalf of people they don't even know ".
I agree. It seems more and more people these days are just out to be offended so they can get some attention for 5 minutes.
Some people really need to take a joke. Not just rush to the internet to complain every time someone slightly belittles you albeit unintentionally or playfully with no malice intended.

** He even tweeted a pic of him with the person afterwards saying they are good friends and they were totally fine with it. . .
