More on Jim -ist -ist Davidson

Annoyingly, the online version of the Metro doesn't actually have most of the stories on it, so the quote might not be entirely accurate... but he's surprised people are complaining about him saying if women shagged more, there wouldn't be any rapes.

The previous story continues, with the venue saying "the number of wheelchair users was not as many as Davidson had observed, saying it was only seven people out of the 34 members of the front row."

I was struck by that story. Mind you, I was also struck by the person who said you shouldn't be able to use rape as a subject of comedy (I haven't got the exact quote 'cos I left it on the bus). Anything can be an appropriate subject for comedy - if and only if the comedy is funny (and for jokes about dark topics to work they invariablly need to be dark jokes).
