I really can't recall seeing stand-up jokes about Hiroshima, abortion, or the greyhound beheading. Since those are apparently being thrown around in this thread as equally "offensive" to rape jokes. And since they're out there being made by some comedian somewhere, rape jokes are now "funny, but tasteless. But ultimately ok because someone once joked about Hiroshima!"
It's statistically improbable that you DON'T know someone who's been raped. But I guess the prevalence of sexual violence in our society really just adds to the hilarity. :/
