Coward of the county, be it Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton or them both as a duet has been reported as glorifying rape.

Sounds like we have the forum's answer to a particular Viz character

I completely understand why some might not find my jokes funny. Still struggling about the alleged promotion of violence towards women. I suppose if someone has the balls to own up to reporting it then we might be able to understand what's going on in their head. But that's unlikely.

Maybe, just maybe, you'd have a different outlook if you were a woman who'd been the subject of domestic violence.

I wouldn't report that joke. But I would tell you to your face that I think it's crass, old fashioned, and more than anything it's lazy.

Maybe, just maybe, you should learn to tell the difference between an obvious joke and a serious issue.

And there was no evidence that the totally fictional 6 men in the joke were part of the totally fictional victims household 😉

I'm fine with that.

Although if it was me I wouldn't bother to lecture the teller of a joke I found unfunny. There are plenty more jokes around.

Classic is male. He's very pro men's rights in fact.

It's out dated humour, even if told by Les Dawson who did his routines with affection. Totally different to Bernard Manning though.

No, I'd not have reported it either. I still like most of Les Dawson's stuff, as his humour was often a bit surreal and a lot of his comedy was clever, but that joke relies on outdated caricatures and finding humour in domestic violence. "But it's a joke!" doesn't negate the subject matter.

I wasn't referring to him, just to be clear. The chief suspect, however...

In your humble opinion...

Oh dear, you've apparently missed why Millie is funny.

I can, thanks. If you can't see why people for whom domestic violence might be a subject that they find poor taste for humour, maybe because they've been subject to it, then don't be surprised if not everyone finds your humour funny.

When you've finished being condescending, maybe you can explain why you find her funny?

You could try posting a joke about rape victims and see if others share my humble opinion.

People on here get triggered by knitting on post boxes, mate. There's no way mother in law jokes would survive the cut.

I never expected everyone to find it funny. Far from it, given some of the 'characters' on here.
