There's saying controversial things, and there's trolling. He's a troll, and he got what he wanted.
Again, where is the section of law that requires free speech to not be solely, utterly and completely devoid of merit? South Park has been extremely offensive to just about everybody, but merit is not the criteria. Illegal behavior is.
Trolling isn't illegal either.
I think you are conflating something you don't like with bringing the full force of the government against a person. Thousands of dollars in court costs, possible jail time, a criminal record for something that isn't a crime.
You may not like it - I find Lady Gaga's "music" more offensive than this -- but that doesn't rise to the level where government should get involved.
