This "incident" would only be controversial if it had ended up with the girl actually getting pounced on and raped by five guys in the audience and Tosh continued making rape jokes. Which, of course, would never happen.
It was a comedy show. Tosh got heckled and responded. That's how comedians deal with hecklers.
edit: I just thought of a good rape joke he could make in the scenario I created above. He could say "hey look at that, she's getting it in every orifice and there's five guys so they must have created some new ones" and then take a few beats while the rest of the audience roars with laughter. Now, if that had been how the story played out it would be time for introspection and reevaluation of our morals. But what actually happened is barely worth discussing.
