I think people are a little too sensitive sometimes, but the "so fucking what?" is that people are boycotting the post (apparently) and the post could lose money, that's why they (probably should) care. I think it's offensive [/whine] but I didn't think it was even very witty. Kind of a lame cartoon to print for how much trouble it's causing them - not worth it.
