Apparently this show has some guy with alchohol problems having his family support him and all that, perhaps that's what he was refering to. Also, family values doesn't have the same connotation everywhere. For example you can perfectly interpret it as a family who gets together every evening for dinner and some other frivolous things like that.

For the same reason you are assuming he isn't aware of the controversy, in which case, he's just dumb as rocks, which isn't all that much better.
He clearly watches the show and is a big fan of it. It's certainly not unreasonable to assume he's heard of the BIG controversy that played out for weeks surrounding the cast member's comments. And don't try the UK/US thing, because a quick google search shows it definitely was discussed in UK media, as well. Let alone the fact that this isn't an old controversy. The DD incident happened like a month ago. It is still very fresh on everyone's mind. I won't even get into the fact that instead of just apologizing for it, he is blatantly defending himself and attacking those who found a problem with his words, which just further proves he meant it to me.
