Since when is sexual assault funny? | Theatre & performing arts | Guardian Unlimited

I love stand up (I'd rather listen to a comedian, than music) and love offensive acts, but this guy seems to be crossing the line to me. Read the article and tell me: Did he cross the line?

On another note, like I said before, I love stand up and listen to a lot of it, but I have never heard of this guy before. Any DP Brits have anything to say about him or his act? I can't find much on him on youtube.

Sounds horrific, however there are questions about whether the reporting is accurate or not - if the young lady was sexually molested on stage she hasn't made a complaint to the police and neither have the journalists who've written about the incident.

That's all it would take to take this from a possible to a probable.

Try watching "Family Guy" and "South Park" then re-post.

South Park and Family guy are voiced by people being sexually assaulted in the voice studio?

Johnny Vegas was on stage and is often drunk - as the commentator says in his blog, he can be a car-crash waiting to happen but as I said in my previous post, neither the "victim" or the journalists have called the police so it's still a storm in a teacup.

There's a big difference between making a joke about something and actually doing it on stage.

I see no issue here. She was perfectly free to smack him across the face, kick him in the balls, punch him in the nose, or hell... just stand up and walk away.

There's no "assault" because she sat there (laid there?) and ALLOWED him to touch her without so much a verbal protest.

Why to people immediately jump to the conclusion that women are so pathetically weak that they can't even say "stop"?

Because certain womens groups have done all they possibly can to assure us that this is so.

QFT.

Some people say "gropee". I say "groupie".

I didn't read "held at gunpoint" or "knife at her throat" anywhere, so you can easily assume that it was not unwanted.

Yeah, right...she asked for it


Sick.


I mean--it's not like there was an entire audience of people full of expectation and six guys who carried her on stage and a drunk idiot straddling her and swearing at her and threatening to "kick her in the ribs" if she moved while he groped her publicly....yeah...it definitely she's the weak one who didn't have the guts to speak up, or she liked it.

You are out of your ever lovin' mind rivrrat.
