I personally find what they do pretty funny because I can laugh at myself as well. It's all in good humor. Why does everything have to be so serious?
And what about Simon Cowell. He certainly seems to make his living from making fun of people. Doesn't seem to stop you from watching. Is he what is wrong with the world. I think a problem with the world is people don't laugh anymore. Everything is so PC and people walk around with a stick up their a$$es. Loosen up man.

You are doing exactly what I'm doing except you choose to focus on me rather than the issue. Simon is critical and can be rough on folks but he's honest. Are you seriously comparing someone giving someone's performance a bad review with the trash Stern does? I agree that people should laugh more and laughing at yourself is often good therapy...but that's not the same as making fun of other's misery! I see nothing amusing in the ashes of a suicide victim, the dead bodies of school kids or the horrors of 9-11...if that's what you call political correctness and a lack of sense of humor then so be it!
