Am I the only one offended by rape joke???


When the Kevin James character says that the last time he and his wife had sex she was asleep.....am I really the only one who found this offensive and unfunny?

I had sex with you while you slept.

No, you probrably think that because he is a male. I bet if you heard a woman tell this joke you'd laugh your ass offf. Such is the double standard .

And yes the same joke has been told by Joan Rivers in her standup. So go Google that and laugh your ass off, prude.

It was funny because it wasn't rape. It was a joke that he couldn't get sex unless she was asleep. It was a joke against himself.

good lord. for everyone on here replying saying it's impossible for a husband to rape his wife, what if the wife is awake but just doesn't want to have sex? by your reasoning, the husband can order her to do that? and if she refuses and he forces her to have sex, that's not rape?
it's also alarming that so many people are personally attacking the OP so vehemently. just because someone disagrees with you does not give you leave to eviscerate them.

I don't remember this joke specifically, but I'm not a fan of rape humor. There's just certain things I don't think are funny. Abortion and rape jokes are some of those things.

What kind of idiot can't even spell a compound noun??



No Louis, you're mistaken. It's not me.

I didn't find it offensive 'cuz it was quite obviously just that - a joke. Guys say stupid stuff like that all the time - it's called self-deprecating humor. He was doing the opposite of what a 'studly' guy would do. He knows he's not hot but he makes it work for him. I would't even call it a rape joke. I understand you were raped & take that subject seriously but I'd lighten up a bit if I were you. A stupid movie like this is nothing to get worked up about.
