I didn't see it either.
But then, I see a difference between "provocative of thought" 
versus "provocative of resentment/rage/etc."  I'll take you 
at your word that you were curious and looking to provoke 
thought, not antagonism, cuz that's how I read the question.

Of course, people who are uncomfortable with their answer 
to the question might have a different perception, as might 
the "Professionally Offended".(*)
