CEO, Comedy Central: Take Daniel Tosh off the air

[Gormy Cuss]

37. No, heckling needs to rise to the level of harassment or disruption.

Simple yelling out one comment, that rape jokes aren't funny doesn't rise to that level. Yelling out something about Tosh sucking because he told a rape joke or booing him, that would be heckling. Tosh was quick to characterize it as heckling in his tweets. That's pretty smart because it evokes an image of someone who's being disruptive to the poor comic.

If he was telling a "don't drop the soap" joke and this woman objected, would that be okay with you? Of course not. But on the issue of shower/prison rape jokes, how does dismissing this incident help address the problem of popular acceptance of shower/prison rape jokes? If anything, building public support for this woman would be a positive step towards educating people that rape jokes just aren't funny regardless of the target.
