Sex Criminal Fashions
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.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
How can people think that’s funny? It’s ridiculoud. Comedy is going downhill with fools like these.
I’ve actually seen some of his videos. I agree that jokes shouldn’t be made about subjects about those topics, but I think there are many subjects that average Americans laugh at all the time that we shouldn’t. We’re still insensitive enough to laugh at racist and sexist jokes, as well as jokes about midgets and the mentally retarded. None of it is right.
I’d rather bad people like rapist and pedos be the butt of a joke, and to be discriminated against, than someone who can’t help their situation.

There is nothing funny about the word rape, it is s seriously bad word and should not be taken in a ‘fun’ sense.
I don’t know whats wrong with people now a days, recently I have been busy in reporting rape websites, yes websites with actual videos of rape cases, its just sick. >:(
I cannot bring down their websites as it is on a dedicated server, but the places they use to advertise, I report their posts and they remove the advertisement from their website. But they are using an automated script for that and I appear to be losing

Joking about rape is tastless and senseless. How can anyone joke about something that is so emotionally damaging and traumatizing to the victim of such an act? Our society has become so compassionless that to entertain, we have turned to the exploitation of a violent crime that robs the victim of their sexual identity and the pleasure they should naturally derive from a normal functioning sex life.

Wow. You can say that many times over, there is definitely nothing funny about rape. It’s vile and disgusting.

That’s not a funny word! People who find it as a joke is ridiculous. How can it be sound funny where one’s dignity and morality were violated.

Yeah, a look at what we find ‘funny’ these days is a real testament to how far our society has fallen. Sad.

Yeah I didn’t like that at all. I agree with you whole-heartedly about using those words as jokes. It just makes me feel uncomfortable. It is a very sad state indeed. Check out the movie Idiocracy for a more accurate picture of how Americans will evolve. Very funny.

I agree that this is completely tasteless. I think these people have never been exposed to the reality of sexual crimes. I was locked up with child molesters, rapists and career pedophiles. It’s no joke. These are sick people.

Oh, but isn’t male prison rape just hilarious?!? Everyone seems to find laughter in that! Do you extend the same outrage to that?

I can’t say I approve this. I get the humor, but this is not right. It makes it look ok, like that should happen because its just the way world is. I really dont think so. I think people need to be helped and straightened, but if we make joke about them – means we accept their way as something natural.

Where the hell do you get rape from this vid??? I heard non of the sort!
its not serious!
hes not at a podium with blood squirting out of his eyes and veins implodind in his neck preaching and screaming to go beat your wife is he? NO! you all need to get over yourselves! I have seen all of Jan Jolie’s movies and I find them funny.

It was really hard for me to watch this video. It doesn’t look like a comedy at all Biltema.

I don’t think you people get it. The man is not making fun of RAPE, he’s making fun of those 40 year old men who creep on kids on the internet. I believe if he stated in the videos that he thinks rape is not a big deal then that would be totally wrong. He’s making fun of our society. That is what most comedians portray. They make jokes about all the things we find too hard to talk about. It’s like the elephant in the room. Everyone knows it’s there but no one says anything. Everyone is thinking about it. Give the guy a break and stop trying to sound so politically correct, open yourself up, don’t be so serious, and stop looking so deep into the context. Not every racial joke has a hidden meaning, and this clip is not making fun of rape. I do value your opinions but I think they were made too quickly.

OMG HE SAID SOMETHING THAT OFFENDED ME IM GONNA CRY BECAUSE RAPE IS SENSITIVE TO ME
As a serial rapist myself I am definitely offended by this video. I pride myself on my hygiene and fashion sense.
My facial hair is always neatly trimmed and I wear contacts, not “rapist” glasses. In fact, if you saw me on the street you'd never think that I was a rapist.
I'm tired of all the stereotyping the rapist community is faced with.
People think it's funny, but it's really taking a serious matter and making light of it.
Kinda funny, but would probably offend some ppl!
I still think Jon Lajoie is the funniest man out there. Nothing you can say will ever change my mind.
I realize rape isn't a joke; but he isn't saying rape is. The joke is him playing up to the stereotypical rapist/pedophile/serial killer/pencil crayon seller. (You have to admit when the wide selection of pencil crayons comes up it's notlike you can't take it seriously at all.)
I think you should check out “Show me your genitals” and “Show me your gentials 2. E=MC2 vagina” If you take offence to “Public Mastrabator Trenchcoat” for sure you will have a heart attack during those songs…
Women are taking themselves too seriously and can't seem to find the humour in a man mocking rap stars.
I pee my pants every time that I see or hear anything of Jon Lajoie's. And yes, it seems rather morbid to laugh at him in “Cold Blooded Christmas”. But it's so outrageous it's hilarious.
I'm sure that you have made off colour comments about gays/lesbians, blondes, pirates, different etnicities…Every joke can be offensive, and if you have a problem with a comedian, don't listen to their set.
So get off your high horse, come down to humanity and learn to laugh.
It's mostly because sick people write comedy, that it became twisted.
Good comedy gets people's attention by going to extremes. How many “I hate my wife” jokes can society take after all? Before jumping to conclusions about people by #1: assuming they're aiming to offend people and #2: assuming them to be “sick” or “dumb”, perhaps you should read deeper into the concept of sarcasm. It's very easy to take a joke literally; it takes a brain and a half to understand its actual roots. Jon does not degrade people; he pokes fun at society's absurd nature. If anything is degrading, I'd look more towards top 40 radio and television. I'm constantly amazed at how people draw the line on “funny”. What exactly would you all define “funny” as then? What topics are ok to laugh at then? Sorry, but knock-knock jokes aren't my cup of tea. Even the great comedians of this planet will tell you that comedy cannot be censored… It's COMEDY!!
Furthermore, he is not making fun of rape… He is making fun of people who prance around wearing big beards and thick glasses, or those who drive creepy vans… Its innocent really…. that is if you don't take things literally and lighten up a tad. Not all men are evil you know.
lol u r all rong
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^^

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

His videos are soo funny especially this one X)
Whats the big deal?? It’s just a video that says the word “Pedophile” and “Rape”.
It’s not as if he’s telling people to start rapping people, it’s just for laughs.
What the hell are u people watching it if u think it’s disgusting? Learn to think
about the positive! Bitch..
From ur sexual tiger
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!
You know what I hate? People who try to control what others say and think.

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:
http://www.ohlookaforum.com/sick-vids-f21/dnepr…
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.
It’s easy because this video has done neither of those things.
yes, I'm a rapist and that is totally insulting to our carreer…
