That is not the issue. I have no problem with anyone stating an opinion that this was a poor example of "comedic" writing. Acer's statement was a hyperbolic metaphor expressing a disdain for the laws of physics. NOT an attack on Mr. Hawking and certainly not an advocacy of violence or an expression of hatred for disabled persons. Interpretting the remarks otherwise is plainly erroneous. Hawking's name was used as a symbol of the science of physics, nothing more. Anyone offended by such hyperbole should not watch this week's Wizard Product Review, by the way.
