Another year, another comedian making an inappropriate joke and facing widespread public backlash. This time it was Daniel Tosh, host of Comedy Central’s popular Tosh.0. At a July stand-up performance in Los Angeles, Tosh made a rape joke that offended a female audience member. When she called him on it, he responded to the crowd, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by, like, five guys right now?” After an account of the events was posted on Tumblr, outrage ensued and online petitions demanded that Tosh.0 be taken off the air. Tosh apologized on his Twitter account, writing, “All of the out of context misquotes aside, i’d like to sincerely apologize. The point i was making before i was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. #deadbabies”
