I’m glad the sense of humor of most here is still intact. That was some -serious- bitching. I found the first one humorous, considering it was my first time having seen it. Merely to reassure you all, though, I have no intentions of raping anyone simply because I found a rape joke funny. Most people who will rape someone don’t do so because of a joke. They’re just that demented. Cheeeell.
When Robert heard I had HIV he hit on me. He thought I might be African and that I might have diamonds. I told him my bumhole is exit-only, except for Jesus (God’s greatest investment).
point is, this is website for humor and people to get some giggles, if you’re going to be that serious and up- tight about crude or slightly offensive humor, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. there is a time and place for certain types of discussions, i do not consider lamebook to be a place to preach. if someone is really that offended by something they can contact the people in charge of the site and discuss it with them. i’m just saying, lighten up or maybe find somewhere that’s more your taste….it’s not really suppose to be this serious..
and yeah, it’s not too original, but it’s still a little funny..
Ohbabybaby, you’re getting very uptight about other people getting uptight. It’s not that I don’t get your point, but when other posts aren’t funny, people will complain about them, too. Rape isn’t special.

There’s no point in getting worked up over my comments about not thinking a particular joke is funny. Log out if you can’t handle it. Oh wait…do you see the problem here?
I made a comment about the humor/appropriateness inherent to a joke, and instead of trying to convince me that it was humorous/appropriate, everybody decided to voice their opinions about me voicing my opinions, but in so doing, said posters did exactly what they don’t want me doing. Yeah…um…no.
Do you see post #56, right above mine? That made me rethink my post more than any of you nits whining, “Go awaayyyyy we don’t like your kind here!”
I wish that Elixabeth would post more. She was funny without intending to be. Which puts her 2 – 0 over most people here.
I never click on the full thread anymore, btw, Elixabeth – so if your weirdness has been available but commented out, I’ve missed it. Cheers to you, and Jesus DID buy that aqua rabbit. Sorry.
Hobes, sorry about England, buddy. We were torn up by Germany in a similar fashion. I did 4 years of German at school, so I’ll use that as the excuse to now get behind them. They are on fire.
Awwww England got Muller-ed today!
Just don’t start blaming it on the vuvuzelas or the ball, please.
But in all seriousness, that 2nd goal should’ve been allowed! Not that it would’ve changed anything…? Or maybe it would’ve, hmmm…
Oh well, better luck next time! 😀
If you start with boring hockey, replace everything fast with something slow, everything hard with something soft, and fights and blood with crying and tears, you end up with soccer.
I agree with comment 56 that the purpose of this site is to show what not to do on facebook..
..but what’s really bothering me is that this is in a “win” section, not a “horribly awful, lame, etc” section. This makes me question the judgment of the people running this site.
to be honest i’ve sat on my hands the whole way through this debate, but i disagree with almost all of you. there’s a lot of self-righteousness on here!
there are so many horrible things in the world – rape is just one among many, hanging out with his friends cancer, addiction, war, barney the dinosaur and famine. basically the world is one big hieronymous bosch painting, and the only way to brighten it up a little is to deal with all things equally, and to reduce everything down to the simplest common denominator. which is humour.
if i was in a group of ten people and made a joke about cancer, the chances are, two or three of the people in the group have been affected by cancer – but i don’t care – it’s like chaos theory – things like cancer and rape are always going to happen on earth. maybe i’ve been affected by cancer…. but this doesn’t make it more real or unreal. who am i to account for cancer!!? cancer is no more a killer than time, or oxygen – they’re the ultimate killer. but if i were to mention free radicals at the dinner table, would everyone be up in arms?
the writer dennis potter maintained a healthily humorous relationship with his cancer – he called it rupert after the tv magnate rupert murdoch, and swapped jokes and curses with it until he died. i’m not suggesting people call their rape sandra and take it to bed at night, but still. i don’t think rape is funny, but it does make me chuckle a little to think that, in spite of all our much-lauded progress as a species, there will be a man in a hut in haiti pinning down a woman somewhere, and also probably in manchester, and brooklyn at any given minute. because we’re all a bunch of godless animals. i think that’s funny. i would never rape anyone – but that’s not to say rape doesn’t exist as an idea in my consciousness. what are you going to do – wipe rape out? rape will always exist – rape is a timeless actuality – so what sense does it make to pretend it doesn’t exist, or speak of it in hushed tones?
i’m not being flippant, although i don’t feel like i’ve really articulated myself well.
my only quibble is that the actual prostitute joke is awful, and one of those bloody formulaic and stupid one liners that never ever does, or can, sound original. i say do a joke about anything, as long as it’s funny.
mkay hit the nail on the head. i am not a “panties in a bunch prude” but i fail to see how stevan’s status or debra’s reply were wins. that was my issue with the post. i am all for laughing at the lameness that facebook breeds (that is, afterall, why i am here) but don’t feed me shit and tell me it’s ice cream.
As much as I’ve seen, rape jokes are not made by people who have been victims of it themselves. That’s different from a cancer patient making jokes about his own illness. And in rape jokes, the joke is on the victim. So it’s just the concept of a prostitute getting raped that is supposed to be funny here. You have to consider that concept absurd on some level to laugh at it…
On a related note, there have been a lot of jokes about catholic pedos lately. It’s an equally tragic subject matter but in my opinion there is one crucial difference that sets it apart from the typical rape joke: the joke is on the church (the assaulter), not the abused kids.

People are underestimating just how funny rape can be.
Ohbabybaby, you’re getting very uptight about other people getting uptight. It’s not that I don’t get your point, but when other posts aren’t funny, people will complain about them, too. Rape isn’t special.
Unless it’s done right.
I always thought the purpose of this site was to show what not to post on Facebook.

FIFTY-SEVENTH!
i prefer JoeAckney.
JoeAckney rules.
Wait. Maybe I Am Not Here is JoeAckney?
Overreaction fuels the fire. Let’s keep that flame down shall we? Moving on.

I thought elixabeth just posted normal comments with a quote from the Bible underneath. Not exactly first-rate humour.
Elixabeth was funny because she was posting Bible verses at the end of every comment?
Lol hilarious!!

Deutschland zu gewinnen!
hau ab du riemelriecher!
england were shiiiiite!
That was fucken ass rape.
Awwww England got Muller-ed today!
Just don’t start blaming it on the vuvuzelas or the ball, please.

Rooney was a pathetic passenger for the whole game.
This will go down as the greatest world cup ever because France and Italy got knocked out at the group stage.
American Apparel have some weird looking models.
Also, Uruguay to win the World Cup.
Also, Sepp Blatter needs to allow the use of slow-motion replay.
I’m sorry samwise, but Argentina is an unstoppable force and will walk all over Uruguay, and thus, win the World Cup.
hoping Germany will win the worldcup, those boys raped England badly today 🙂

Hockey IS the best sport on earth for a reason, but the World Cup is fun to watch as well. Though, that is a pretty accurate description Walter.
soccer is the only sport that little people are good at.
Rugby League is the greatest (and toughest) sport in the world, no padding for these blokes.
I’m English, football now officially sucks and is rubbish, so there.
Rape jokes really aren’t funny.

I agree with #73.
I agree alordslums!

life is a tragi-comedy! stop making it a tragedy!
and chesty, agree wholeheartedly.
There’s nothing funny about rape.
Unless someone puts a laugh track to the video and posts it on YouTube. That makes EVERYTHING hilarious…
As much as I’ve seen, rape jokes are not made by people who have been victims of it themselves. That’s different from a cancer patient making jokes about his own illness. And in rape jokes, the joke is on the victim. So it’s just the concept of a prostitute getting raped that is supposed to be funny here.

@ alordslums “i don’t feel like i’ve really articulated myself well.”
you did man. But you didn’t need to. I think we have that same idea that’s we we all haven’t bothered to get into the argument.
@Selow
“rape jokes are not made by people who have been victims of it themselves”
I hear the same is true with murder
@Selow
Wanna bet?
