Offended--Clash of cultures edition

In Austria Muslims were offended by their neighbor's yodeling.  In fairness to the neighbors, he seems to be quite a dick and was apparently yodeling in order to intentionally  interfere with their prayers.  He was fined 800 Euros, presumably for interfering, not for offending , which does not seem to be a crime in Austria.  Still, who isn't offended by yodeling?

Gays (apparently all of them) were offended when the head of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, suggested that they keep it in their collective pants when visiting Qatar.  He swears he was just trying to help.

Brits (apparently all of them, too) are offended by the sport of dogging which involves random strangers having sex in cars parked in a public lots while crowds watch.

Candadians were so offended by Maclean's suggestion that certain Canadian universities were "too Asian" that the government is considering cutting off subsidies.  In what world is "too Asian" a bad thing for a univerisity.  Speaking as a dad, I would hate for my kids to be surrounded by a group of bright, hard working high acheivers.

A letter-writer in Anniston, VA is offended by those he sees as offended by Christmas.  Take that you..."minority of malcontents posing as atheists, diversity czars and protectors of the fictional separation of church and state".
