When did gang rape stop being funny?

You can get away with a lot when it comes to stand-up comedy, but only to a point.

The humor turned sour during Josh Tosh’s performance at L.A.’s famed “Laugh Factory” last Friday after Tosh allegedly directed a harsh rape “joke” at a female audience member, whose later anonymously blogged about the incident in a Tumblr post entitled “A Girl Walks into a Comedy Club.”

The author claims that she yelled from the audience “rape jokes are never funny!” after Tosh made a general remark about rape jokes always being amusing. From there, he took things up a notch or two.

The anonymous audience member wrote on her blog: “Then, he says, 'Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…' and I, completely stunned and finding it hard to process what was happening but knowing I needed to get out of there, immediately nudged my friend, who was also completely stunned, and we high-tailed it out of there. It was humiliating, of course, especially as the audience guffawed in response to Tosh, their eyes following us as we made our way out of there. I didn’t hear the rest of what he said about me.”

All kidding aside, how stupid is this girl? She feels threatened by his rape joke, so she leaves the packed auditorium and heads out into the dark ally? And why is it that she thinks she can yell at the comedian and not get something thrown back at her? If you know who Tosh is, then you know he says offensive stuff. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

BUT.... Notice how apologies delivered via twitter make everything okay?

Never apologize through twitter, it's a sign of weakness.

Twitter and facebook users couldn't care less about showing signs of weakness by definition.

What would have been funnier is if he made the joke, then she got gang raped, then the guys that gang raped her appologized on twitter. And then it would all be okay.
