Have I had a sense of humour failure? (Warning - horrible adoption language)

I watched some of Katherine Ryan’s new comedy drama ‘The Duchess’ on Netflix. She explores adoption briefly and when it doesn’t go well with the social worker, she says she didn’t want one of her ‘second hand crack babies’ anyway.

I’ve thought about it several times since and I’m really offended. I like Ryan but I think this is unutterably crass. I’ve even considered tweeting her!

AIBU, fellow adopters?

I always thought you came across as very individual - in a good way of course!

And there we have proof that sometimes people don't get the joke, and humour is subjective.

percypetulant could you explain what joke was missed?

Actually don't worry about it percypetulant. As you say, humour is subjective, I didn't think I had missed a joke, I don't usually, but if I did no worries! Grin
