I hate the mentality that rape is a funny word. Rape is not a funny word, action or mindset and it should most definitely not be used in a comedy bit; the same goes for the word pedophile. These words have absolutely no place in comedy, yet lately it seems to be popping up everywhere and the people who are seeing these words being used in comedy are going right along with it, which infuriates me.
This particular video, entitled ‘Pedophile Beards,’ by Jon Lajoie is actually a followup video for a previous one entitled ‘Rapist Glasses.’ With over 214,000 views, 1,249 text comments and 11 video responses, the majority of Jon’s viewers are laughing right along with him, saying that it is the funniest thing that they have seen in a while and that they know many people who fit into the stereotypes that he is pointing out–those being not only rapists and pedophiles, but he has also added public masturbators and serial killers to the mix. And the point to the video? Using well known visual stereotypes in a “comedic,” and I use that word very lightly, video about sex criminal fashions.
Sure, while it is “meant to be funny,” Tshirts with the words ‘serial rapist’ on them, such as the shirt (and those like them) posted over at SAFER were also just “meant as a joke” and are now in the process of being removed from Cafepress.
I, for one, am not laughing.

Hi guys first of all i agree. Killing, raping and other “activities' are not funny, but on the other hand when people laugh on the topic it means thei are reconciled with the issue, In other words the people who sees this activities funny understand it is bad, but on the other hand they understand this is something which happens. These people are also more open minded and dont hasitate to speak about the topic.
Who would want to look like a rapist? This is absolutely silly. I do not see the video as something to laugh about.
While I respect your views, I think it's hypocritical you are essentially giving him free advertising on your site. A description of the video would suffice to demonstrate your point.
Many now interests how correctly to eat. The number of the people dissatisfied with the figure or health recently has increased and, as consequence, trying to get rid of excess weight. You should pick up a diet approaching you, and also learn to make correctly balanced diet.
Nice post. Have bookmarked your blog and will be sure to come back soon!
this video and all of Jon's videos are a rapin' good time.
That video reminds me of my former roommate, John, who grew a pedophile beard because his girlfriend supposedly found it sexy. I couldn't comprehend his girlfriend's attraction to it until I discovered she is bi-sexual. Anyway, are all feminists this uptight? The funniest jokes are about taboo subjects. Political correctness is not funny!
The post really nice , i like it ,thanks for sharing,thanks for your post, i will keep read your blog everyday

Maybe u just cant understand the funny thing in it…I mean ofc the fact, that people getting raped anytime, everywhere in the world, is not a funny thing…but u can all see black like this and can do jokes wich are not funny, and lough abot things like b4 100 years, but that wont make the world better! I would say this is a way for remembering, that Human are sick, and that such things happen, because it wont stop, but if u dont talk about in any case, people maybe forget about the bad in the world in life thair lives more in the way about not thinking of tomorrow.
this is my oppinion, and excuse my bad english..its been a long time til i had some english lessons^^
Wonderful article, just added the site to my favorites. Thanks so much.
i am very sorry hear all these thinf=gs are happening in the world…
it should be stopped its good for the society
Can you tell me what's the difference between a free background check and a paid background check?
there is no such thing as bad comedy, just people that take things to serious. get a sense of humor people. if it offends you then dont watch it or better yet, dont post it and help promote it.
Jon lajoie kicks ass. That vid is right funny.
rape is awesome right?
I think this whole “story about Jon Lajoie” is completly stupid because as you migth have seen is that most of the comments Do support Jon Lajoie and his Jokes, so you reached the directly opposite reaction as you wanted, you should think about that firts before making such a thread
MfG Master117

Because you have no sense of humor
What's the big deal??
So he said the word rape, it is not as if he is telling people to go rape or touch anybody. It's just a joke. I can't believe some people would give a shit about it.
Calme toi!
that is hilarious i dont care what anyone says, its not a serious video yet it is so true. haha i am still laughing
lighten up
is this the sourpussy meeting? i'm sorry im late.
DAMN THOSE SEXIST MEN MAKING JOKES!!!!!!!!!!
you don't get it do you? this video has got nothing to do with the act of rape. its about pushing the envelope with the bad boy look so that it becomes counter productive and ends up ” scaring the shit out of people”. And this video is not a representative of the state of comedy in general because Jon Lajoie belongs to a class of his own. you need to have a level of tolerance and sense of humor to enjoy his comedy which are primarily self ridicule and has nothing to do with sexual violence. 5,092,681 views.
don't feel threatened, this video will only avert people from these stereotypes.

Rape is not a funny word, but rape fantasy sounds good for some people..
You people are shockingly ignorant.
There's absolutely nothing inherently “funny” about an inanimate object, for instance.. however you can still make jokes about them.
Jokes about actions like rape and murder may be in 'bad taste', but it's not like he is actually raping and murdering anyone, or even condoning doing so.
The whole point is simply that the idea that someone would actually WANT to look like a murderer, or rapist, is so ludicrous, its funny.
Get over it.
What about sexual roleplaying called rape fantasy – is it bad taste too?
I agree with you about real rape, murders and other criminal actions – this is really shocking!

Hi,
Just wondering how any of you CAN'T find the words RAPE and PEDOPHILE funny?
I mean seriously, isn't it funny when PEDOPHILES get RAPED in prison???
I for one thinks that is hilarious!! (mainly because it actually happens and it serves them right!)
ALSO this is the internet (i.e. you haven't seen these ads on T.V.) there is FAR more worse things on the internet like:

Watch the first video and let me know if you can make it past 1min! as I could not.
Complaining about peoples choice in comedy more offensive than any of jon lajoies vids!
@NSM- +1 I completely agree!
How can it be sound funny where one's dignity and morality were violated.
yes, I'm a rapist and that is totally insulting to our carreer…
