  Wow, thank you, I didn't know about this.  I do believe the shows producers have been shown to be extremely insensitive to others feelings.  Although, sometimes I love Simon's tell it like it is attitude, occasionally, he could show more sensitivity to the feelings of others, especially those that look fragile to begin with, but ratings seem to be the most important thing to network shows, and this sort of thing gets ratings.
