From here it escalated and Tosh later apologized. My question to you would be this:
1. Are rape jokes funny?
2. Should the woman have made the comment she did?
3. Did Tosh's response make things worse, or was the damage done?
4. Is rape beyond the pale?
5. Given Daniel Tosh's comedic style, should this have been expected?

How do you know if she wasn't in on it, like that guy Jim Carrey played in one of his movies where he had a plant in his audience (not like a household plant) but like someone he knew in on it to take the brunt of the joke & to excerbate a highly tense situtation into a conflict to make the audience feel uncomfortable.
It's beyond the pale.
