The joke wasn't particularly tasteful (sure Dave would be the first to admit that since he's already apologised unlike others who have made similarly offensive and hurtful comments, often not even meant in jest), but to miss the point that he was parodying *similarly* distasteful remarks made at him comes across as nothing more than a contrived and intellectually dishonest way of taking the moral highground.
The double standards on this forum are laughable. It's like watching some crazy form of linguistic chess with everyone pouncing on each other's words to gain a better strategic position.
Sanctimonious pricks the lot of you.

Bullshit. Naming a band Rapeman (which by the way, isn't directed at anyone) is completely different. Dave asked Rick first, and rightfully Nina got upset. Then, he had the balls to ask her that? Come on.
If you're going to "parody", even shoddily, then make it at least topical, not about fucking rape.
