Rape jokes

Why is this acceptable? Clearly a crude rape joke. But it's male rape so it doesn't count right?

It's definitely wrong whether its for a man or woman.. I'm not sure I understand the joke though.. I get that a foot long means a long penis but why is that a pun? :'] confused

If it was a woman, no-one would be saying this.

I don't find anything offensive about rape jokes as long as they aren't personalized.

I think that is unacceptable. Its not really a joke, its a cheap pun with a really unpleasant subtext.

Wow the double standards of the left wing are unbelievable. The tiniest sex joke against females there is tons of outrage but when it's a man nobody cares. FYI I'm not bothered about the joke itself, it's the double standards that get me.

Did you just call me left wing you little bitch? :pierre:

And it is a joke which assumes that the person isn't homosexual in which case the meaning would be somewhat different

This is just poor, and to be honest it's pretty disgusting as well. Rape is horrible and shouldn't be joked about. And yes, I'm left wing.

What makes rape jokes distasteful to me is that we have a social climate where genuine rape is often not taken seriously.

A fortiori male rape.

Did you expect anything else from a sensationalist rag?

Two points to make:
1.

He goes off on one a bit, but the relevant material is within the first 4 or so minutes.

2. If someone uses humour as a coping mechanism, you're well within your rights to think that the way they're coping with it could be better. But if that's the way they're dealing with it, who the **** are you to judge them for it and actually tell them that they're doing it wrong?

It's a joke. Who cares?

Laugh or cringe at it and move on with your life.

Probably not the most appropriate front page for a newspaper, but at the end of the day they can print what they want. Don't like it, don't buy it.
