Rapier? I hardly knew her!

I recently read the aphorism, as quoted by Clay Shirky, Most people aren't funny and most funny people aren't funny most of the time. Friend and fellow comic Rachael Parenta finds that there are way too many rape jokes being told at the shows we do. (Which isn't to say that there is no such thing as a funny rape joke.) Combine Rachael's general point with Clay's and it strongly suggests that telling rape jokes isn't for mere mortals.

In this video clip, CNN's Nancy Grace (and some other dude) proves that at least one rape joke too many has been told.
