This again tends to support my theory that this "rivalry" is very much in its infant stage. The polygamy jokes are sort of the cliche thing people say to make fun of Mormons and people in Utah because they don't know enough about them to actually dis us where it hurts. It's something Jay Leno would joke about that maybe the typical 50 year old viewer might find fresh and groundbreaking.

Even though it is cliche it still would have purchase as an insult if people in Utah defended polygamy, but seeing on how that isn't the case, most people here (Mormons) find it amusing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's more cute than it is offensive. It's kind of like you Rapids fans are squeezing our cheeks and giving us a pat on the back.
