I would say the phrase "white boy", also used in the article - as an adjective! - is a bit more objectionable.

Scott's rendition of "I'm a Dinky Boy" was hilarious. Funniest part of what is by far the best Comedy Bang! Bang! Episode I've seen. Pretty much everything worked in this one, except the very funny Josh Fadem's bit as Marty Sheesh (great name), which was kind of lame.

Maybe Louis isn't as good as Louie.

"…the director cranks up the nightmare fuel during a few key scenes of sex and violence." Isn't this why people go to Cronenberg movies, for the sensationalistic portrayal of sex and violence? He's essentially still a B-horror film director, albeit now with a patina of seriousness.
