Another mystery solved! Hope they don't get cold feet over at Antenna TV about airing this one.

Also proves that not every "urban legend" is bunk.

Oh man, I've been waiting forever to see this episode . lol

Mr. Television · 06-03-2011, 07:04 PM

I just watched it. That was an episode and a half. I can't believe I missed it when it originally aired.

Guy Incognito · 06-03-2011, 07:06 PM

Well, they actually aired it. And it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. Not great, mind you, but I was expecting a disaster.

Well, I watched it, and I thought it was tacky and insensitive to make a comedy about sexual abuse. Not even funny. The writers had no sense of compassion for the ordeal that real-life rape victims go through.
It just goes to show that there are some subjects you shouldn't joke about or make light of.
Even if it was about a man being raped, the subject matter is still the same regardless of the sex of the victim, and I'm sure a lot of real-life rape victims wouldn't find it funny.

I'm surprised they got away with airing an episode with that topic - which has very rarely been dealt with before or since on episodic television. Which season of TCFC did this air?
