Great, thanks! I am glad other people here see it the same way I do. There
is just nothing funny about sadistic acts, rape, child abuse, the
holocaust, etc.

Once when I was at work, I overheard some people telling jokes, and
although I didn't catch everything that was said, one of the jokes was
about rape. It made me sick! They had been telling rather non-funny/crude
jokes by my standards for a while already and that one was enough to make
me lose my cool and bang out the "Confrontation" song from "Les Mis" (I
work as a musician), and funny enough, it worked. They left. Lol! I wasn't
sorry to see them go.
