I agree with you on some things, like the point about comedy and satire, not all are innocent, some people are offensive. However, in the case of iCarly, you can't hold the writers responsible because someone else' life is less fortunate. If they were taking shots at homeless people just because...then this would be a different story, but they're not. The homeless aren't the only people made fun of by comedians and iCarly isn't the first to be stigmatized simply by making jokes. This is an over-reaction, homeless people don't benefit from this at all, and neither do we.

It's true that kids are susceptible to imitating things they see on tv, but when it comes to kids believing they're superman and killing themselves attempting to fly, those are merely exceptions. The truth is, most of these cases are the result of delusional thinking that could've been prevented had the parents talked to their kids and distinguished the difference between reality and a fictional superhero.
