So if a politician openly says he thinks women should be raped - you think that’s perfectly acceptable ?

Now. For me. If a comedian jokes about rape .. ie: David Brent ‘I think there’s been a rape up there!’ It is acceptable.

It’s about context , pure and simple.

They have the right to say stupid things too. As do you.

The dangerous ones are those who think they can decide what's just a joke and what isn't.

Well when it’s a comedian making a audience laugh then obviously it’s a joke!
 
A stupid unfunny comment unworthy of all this attention. More important things to be concerned about with young people killing each other with knives.
 
But that’s what comedians do. Always have done. Frankie Boyle does the most ‘poor taste’ jokes in pretty much every show he does.

i get that mate, there is a particular context to this supposed joke, there are people in this world who can take things literally

Then we need to stop showing killer films, rap music about gangs and shootings and comedians telling jokes.

If people take things literally when it’s clearly a joke that is the fault of the person who clearly has mental issues.
