Can you imagine that there are people who did not watch Monty Python at all? I know it is not always easy for a western person to accept a fact that there are different cultures around the world.
On the other hand, when I interact with people from wildly different cultures than my own and they say something that sounds very strange to me, my first reaction is not to take offense but rather to try to figure out if there's a cultural difference I'm oblivious to.
I completely agree it is ok to hear strange jokes and not to be offensive. But to hear 'if you can not handle a Monty Python reference maybe you shouldn't contribute' is too much for me.
