The example made in the article about Fawlty Towers "don't mention the war" (or Blackadder for the matter) skit is another example of how you have used "the war" for everything: celebration, drama, comedy, sport etc..

So we can laugh at ourselves.....now I'm confused, are you saying having a sense of humour and being able to laught at our own faults is offensive, Basil Faulty is portrayed as a bufoon, Blackadder is a subject of pure comedy, and the whole series was taking the mick out of all those bad things you are highlighting.
