Why would he be offended by Watchmen reference?
From John Carmack's post - https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2146412825... )
"When I was preparing an early technology demo of Doom 3 for a keynote in Japan, I was having a hard time dealing with some of the managers involved that were insisting that I change the demo because “Steve doesn’t like blood.”"
I really wish people would stop downvoting polite questions like this. This is a reasonable thing to ask (I had the same question and just searched for it in these comments) and it feels odd that it's omitted from the story.
This particular one was probably downvoted because it's either naive or a weak joke to assume that Jobs knew or cared that it was a Watchmen reference.
A much better question would be "why was he offended by a fairly innocuous T-shirt." That's the sort of thing that might get you the side-eye from a particularly high-strung middle school teacher, but it's pretty funny to imagine someone like Jobs being so uptight.
