One of the best articles I've read on heckling and rape jokes, and the only comedian I've seen talk about it that I've actually agreed with. So many others dismiss the notion that joking about rape could be a problem at all. It's nice to see someone actually address it properly and rationally rather than with a knee-jerk reaction.
