Whether or not they're funny is open to interpretation. It's absurd to get upset at a comic for them. Comedy is tragedy + time. are jokes about Hiroshima more or less awful than rape jokes? Because one subject is a personal violation that doesn't take away your life. The other involves the incineration of 70,000 people in a matter of seconds.

Yet nobody is protesting outside a theatre when the Hiroshima comic comes to town.

Beyond that, people act like there's some epidemic of rape humour. There's not. Tosh dealt with a heckler. In a manner which was under different circumstances than originally reported.

That exchange tends to not favour the audience member no matter who the comic is.

Ultimately, comics don't want to tell rape jokes. They do, however, want to talk about whatever they want, and the second you say it's not okay to Joke about one thing, then everyone with a group or a cause who wasn't offended during the first 55 minutes of the show gets up on arms because the jokes were now about them.

comedy is very easy to not see. Stand up is something you have to seek out. So I would imagine 99.9999% of people who get outraged by tosh or Tracy Morgan or Dane cook only know about this because they went looking to be offended. So I have no sympathy for them. They got what they were looking for. And again. These are comics. Comics talk ####. They aren't running for office. They're trying to make you forget you have to go to work on Monday to that place you hate. Let them do their thing.
