Good discussion of a joke about violent rape.

The only conclusions I've drawn are that finding something funny or not is an objective fact, and you really can't tell what an author was thinking by looking at their work.

The point I was heading towards is that flemco had been date raped, and wrote the joke because that kind of humor makes it easier for them to deal with it.
