I suppose I don't find it offensive because it is juvenile and I expect kids say stupid things. You are not offended by a toddler who soils their pants, and likewise I am not offended by a immature adult who soils himself verbally. It takes a level of respect before one could really be offended by something, and I assume they are still learning how to interact at an adult level. Most people go through this kind of stage and it would be hypocritical to be offended when I myself had a period where I said stupid and offensive things in that transition from child to adult.
