    I understand how they can get away with jokes about stuff like lemon party and tubgirl, since those were all multilayered jokes that seemed innocent on the surface. But this is just a straight up rape joke about a real-life sexist publication.

    Back then we didn’t kneejerk so freakin’ hard. This is funny because is goes out of bounds to absurdity.

    I look forward to a time when we can laugh at the absurdly crazy rapey stuff on comedy shows instead of political debates.

      Ah yes. It’s funny to instantly and without warning put a substantial percentage of your audience into their worst, most powerless moments.
