Dan Harmon's 'Community' Rape Joke Really Isn't Going Over Well
God dammit, rape jokes: will a quip that even nudges the idea of sadistic sex-driven violence ever be socially acceptable? Because, apparently Community creator Dan Harmon though that savage imagery was perfectly likable to what it felt like for him to watch an entire season of his show after vacating the job of Executive Producer, and rape evokes feelings just like feelings evoke rape.The actual quote is that his viewing of the NBC comedy's fourth year was like "being held down and watching your family get raped on a beach," which is only odd because I don't know much about beach rape, nor why the completely innocent beach was relevant, but what happened next is sadly typical: the rest of America was like, "um, no."
Well, in a Tumblr post that's totally worth your TL;DR, Harmon has ...
The Late Show host David Letterman invited fake billionaire and professional attention whore Donald Trump onto the show last night, ostensibly to apologize for calling him a racist on the previous night's show, though most of the interview consisted of Letterman completely humiliating Trump by… well, just letting the man speak.
Borderline treasonous extortion of the President of the United States aside, Trump deserves credit for almost single-handedly refining and redefining what it means to be "full of shit," from his laughable double-standard of transparency (i.e. it's outrageous that President Obama won't release every single piece of paper bearing his name but Mitt Romney can refuse to disclose his own tax returns with that shit-eating grin on his face without the furor of NBC reality show hosts raining down upon him) to the notion that it'll somehow be Barack Obama's fault that Trump won't donate $5 million (or more!) to charity.
The revelation that Trump's line of shitty shirts and ties are all made (likely for pennies apiece, if that) overseas but that he'd "love" to see them built in America? Um, yeah. Please forcibly insert your head up your ass a little further, please—we can still hear your voice.
