I always considered Louis CK a hilarious comedian and admired his honesty. But I will never laugh at a joke about child

Just watched the opening.
I thought it was hilarious - and he
has
done similar jokes. Hell, he's done jokes about the subject (as noted above) that a lot of people would have considered far more offensive.
I'm guessing the F/X crowd is a little thicker-skinned than the SNL (see: major network) crowd.
Just my $0.02.
Wait a minute who am I here? -

Honestly, it didn't bother me that much, because I am thick skinned and have seen all his stuff, and am totally used to shock comedians. But I can see how Joe Blow popping on SNL as a night cap might be offended by this. My only fear is that this episode will end up on the "banned" list. That tends to happen if a network show gets a lot of complaints. My guess based on media reaction is that it probably will.
There was a Tony Danza episode way back, where in one skit the characters kept saying "funkin' A" which of course in the context sounded exactly like "f_ckin A". This show got banned from repeats. In the same show there was a skit with Tony Danza and Julia Sweeny where she played a psycho girlfriend that I've been dying to see again but I can't. There was a point where she got into the role so much that the audience gasped because it got too real. Now I can't see it because some juvenile joke got passed the censors.
