P.S. Fuck Bill Cosby, he's a nasty bully as well as being a serial rapist.

1. I have seen folks post here that rape jokes are never appropriate.

Is this case an exception?

2. Your concern is noted.

[Nye Bevan]

11. I am aware that not everyone agrees that rape jokes are unfunny.

13. I love the fact that ever post I make---

you run to teh Googles and search every post I ever made. Just the time it takes for you to do that cracks me up.

Yep---2003 I said some pretty idiotic stuff. BUT over the years I have learned that some of the things I said were flat out wrong---and guess what---I try not to say them anymore.

Oh sure I'll still make mistakes---and I'm sure you will research hard on Teh Googles to find them....but I'm trying to do my best.

This wasn't a rape joke...this was two women kicking Crosby right in the middle of his nuts. I'm sure you know that.

14. Thanks for your response.

15. What---no snark---is that all you got?

3. My personal opinion is that anything can be made into a joke if the joke is executed properly

But, higher degree of difficulty on some subjects, this being one of them (the target has to be the rapist, not the victim, can't diminish the crime etc etc)

8. truth.

4. They actually didn't make a rape joke

They were making fun of Bill Cosby...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. They skewered a rapist and that was funny.

Bill Cosby deserves to be the butt of the joke.

5. OT, but I loved how they went over George Clooney's wife's incredible accomplishments as a

international human rights attorney, paused, and then said "and it is George Clooney getting the lifetime achievement award!"

That was great... (even though I love George as well)... Great point made.









Cosby...meh Not much more to say.

[geek tragedy]

10. Indeed. They both did well in choosing a spouse. nt

18. I thought they said "Wifetime" achievement award.

I think that is what they said, anyway.

6. I did not care for that joke... and I thought it tasteless because rape isn't funny

I did think they did a bang up job though, outside of that.

And, no, I don't support Bill Cosby. He's a horrible excuse for a man.

[trumad]

7. It was more of nailing Crosby for his shit joke.

Big Diff.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. We'll have to disagree there.

No diff.

[trumad]

17. why?

You really cant see Amy and Tina ripping the guy for his shitty joke. Do you really think to progressive women like those two making fun of rape.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Because rape jokes are never funny... to me.

No one gets to tell me how to think.

End of story.

You see it one way; I see it another.

I don't give people a pass just because I like them and they support the causes I do. It was a dumb idea for whoever it was who wrote the joke. People make mistakes. This "joke," in my opinion, was a mistake.

[trumad]

20. It's not a rape joke....

It's commentary on a rape joke that Cosby told.

ugg!

12. Two Very Talented Women

This clip shows two very talented women skewering Cosby and getting away with it. He needs more of this. He has been too popular and too powerful for anyone to criticize. The time has come for people to portray him like he actually is. A vile bully who used his position to take advantage of women. This is not a joke about rape, this is using humor to humiliate Cosby. And it works.
