I agree with pushing limits, things like religion, politics, sexual preference/orientation and whatever else but joking about child abuse is just wrong.

Child abuse is a crime against a child, nothing they asked for or could defend themselves against. They didn't get a choice like you can choose your religion. It's like making fun of someone because they have cancer or making fun of a person who was murdered. Being edgy is one thing but making fun of child abuse is pretty low.

I can see SNL putting out some kind of apology for this and having warnings at the beginning of their shows or something. I'll say I respect Louis CK a little less. I know he does stuff like this in his stand up but this wasn't stand up, it was a TV show.
