     Agreed.  However having a policy that forbids _any_ humor that may be
     "offensive" to _anyone_ (as it happens with the current policy) to
     prevent a problem that never happened in the whole history of the event
     seems a bit excessive to me...

As previously mentioned, the primary idae is not to prevent a problem,
but to allay any fears that such a problem might exist.  They have occurred
at other events.
     
     ...but maybe I am wrong, this is a complex topic.  And that is the
     reason why it is important to talk and discuss about this instead of
     blindly adopting a policy that could work very well for US events (which
     according to the terrorific descriptions provided in this thread are
     like the Porkys camp) but not so well in an European background.
     
You have a point about blind adoption of the policy.  But it is certainly
not a US centric one.  A very similar one is used for FOSDEM and for events 
in Australia.
