Can jokes about rape ever be funny? Here is Jezebel's take on one example. The full video is here (YT, NSFW).
This post was deleted for the following reason: Single link youtube/Jezebel rape joke. This is a terrifically touchy subject that needs more than this to be a good MeFi post. -- jessamyn
Eh... This wasn't very funny.

The bit on that Jezebel link, however, is not even remotely funny (to me, of course). And its not being funny has nothing to do with its subject matter - it's not funny because it's not well articulated, not well performed. It's just not funny.
