I'm sure most of you have heard of this by now. If you haven't heard an actual soundfile of the joke on Opie and Anthony, look it up. It's horrible, and I'm fairly sure most people didn't actually hear it and the kind of gratification these guys got laughing over how scared her face would look as she was being raped.
Not suprisingly, most news programs are of the opinion that "words don't hurt - if you don't like it, change the channel!", along with the standard claims of Orwellian doom that will befall us all if we draw the line on rape jokes.

just an example of the chatter. There are numerous credible news programs discussing this. I'd like to say I'm suprised by the reactions but I'm not, even though it deeply saddens me each time.
