American broadcast standards have nothing to do with american culture, 
they're famously disconnected. That's the problem with them and (I 
assume) what Ola was pointing out: Try not to offend anyone (as the FCC 
implicitly forces broadcasters to do), and you're automatically adopting 
the sub-culture of the craziest, biggest knee-jerkers in existence, no 
matter how uncommon and non-representative their "get offended any 
anything and everything" actually is.

Personally I'm offended by knee-jerk ethics (I'm not being coy about 
that, I really do find it highly offensive), which throws the whole idea 
of not offending anyone right out the window.
