its a little heavy handed to be labeled a joke, and im not sure where the punchline is.

I'm guessing you are a man?

Because as a woman, I started howling in recognition of the lambasting of the whole Akin fiasco that was apparent as soon as the woman started speaking.

Of course, I am not the Arbitrator of All Femme Comedy. I'll be interested to see if other women sifters find this funny.

I'm a man ... and I thought that was freaking hilarious! *dark to be sure, but most of the best humor is.

sheesh - I said it was *dark, bot.

Adding video to channels (Dark) - requested by jonny.

I'd call it funny. It's a Sarcastic face slap to Todd Akin's Rape Comments.

Get ready - there are a bunch of videos that are on their way dealing with this issue and Todd Akin is the punchline at the end of every joke.

I find it hilarious too.

I think it makes another important sarcastic point aside the whole "legitimate rape" and "raped women don't get pregnant" comments from Akin. Apparently, when old white men have the "credentials" to talk about the whole issue, why not let the rapists tell their view too... why not ask farmers or the tech industry... what you say that women issues should be something WOMEN should be talking about?

I'm pretty touchy about rape jokes too but Brian Keith "Mister Deity" Dalton delivers an excellently dark commentary on the issue, going well beyond the Akin incident (see @Quadrophonic's comment).

I get that, I just didn't laugh. It was too obvious the whole way through. I guess it doesn't help that I don't find the situation funny. I'm too busy being worried about rich jerkovs buying elections for batshit loons like this.

I don't think my penis had anything to do with how I didn't laugh. I got a decent chuckle out of the article I read yesterday that showed Akin dropping 11 points in the polls. I think the obviousness of the video and the saturation of the issue in the news works against it. Almost immediately, I thought "ok I get it" and I only gave it the next minute thinking there was going to be a joke.

Hopefully 3 months from now it will be a lot funnier.

When they find out they're pregnant.

Rape is always funnier after 9 months.

Well, after this informal poll, we know that some people think it is funny and some don't.

That there, my friends, is the proof of the subjective nature of comedy!

Right, @PostalBlowfish?
