no, abuse of women is never funny... if I had a save open I would totally use it to express my disgust.

No worries mate, if anything you may have sifted the most controversial video in sift history.

Wow, you guys and gals really hate this one, don't ya? I don't take it personally, because I know this kind of thing pushes the boundaries of taste. However I don't think it's misogynistic or pro-violence. After the guy punches the girl his shocked and horrified friends immediately come over to pull him off her. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his behavior, right?

I laughed when I first saw this because I was completely surprised by the punch. That's where I saw the humor, NOT because he was hitting a girl who rejected him. Plus Mentos commercials were so wholesomely corny to start with that a punch in the face was absolutely the last thing I expected. Again, it was the surprise that made me giggle, not the violent retribution itself.

Having said all that I can see how some would find this offensive or just plain stupid. I'm sorry if it has offended anyone, because I'm not a misogynist, nor am I a violent person in any way. Maybe I should have let it die instead of requeuing it. Oh well, comedy is always at least a little risky anyway. Safe comedy is just boring, n'est-ce pas?
