What was the line about eugenics? I missed it.

It was when he's checking out the kidnapped girl's twitter. The line is (at least tumblr tells me it is): “Sufficiently asinine as to constitute a valid argument for eugenics.” But personally I don't find it offensive, it's just his darker, British sense of humour. (He also made jokes about turning Clyde into soup, but he was hurt when Joan thought he meant it.)

Acting as if you'd eat a turtle you pick up on a case (which, hey, some people do consider the animal a source of meat) is not quite the same as implying a kidnapped girl whose life is in danger makes a case for sterilizing/killing the "lesser" types of people.
