There is a key difference between Always Sunny which has lots of audience understood character development, versus an author adding a creepy suggestion at the end of an article with no buildup. I fully understand the concept of juxtaposition, but OP could have just as easily proposed visiting the sanitation department or something similar while still having that contrasting shock value, but no, he chose to suggest baby trapping college students. What about that subject is funny?

You’re right: he could have joked about something that does not personally trigger you. But he didn’t…Those of us who aren’t triggered by baby trapping can see that he was not making a serious recommendation. And we can see this while also recognizing the moral abhorrence of baby trapping. Your sensitivity to the subject has simply made you a bad interpreter of someone’s meaning.

And for the record, the Always Sunny characters were awful people from the very beginning and none of the character development is extenuating. Yet it’s still a funny show.
