No, he was talking about RAPE. Don't play it down.
On an XL channel known for this kind of humor (XL meaning it is easily blockable). It was a little one-and-a-half minute bit in which O&A hardly took part - not saying they're not responsible - on an XM station that relies on its lack of censorship for many of its customers. I can think of far more 'edgy' things they've done, not sure why they're being singled out on this one...
It seems XM has standards to maintain.
It just seems strange to me that they've done so much 'worse,' and yet the second the national media catches wind of one of these bits (and, let's be honest, this was back-page news) XM backs down. Where were their standards before, if this is all about them 'doing the right thing?'
They've done worse than saying they really want to RAPE the First Lady? WTF kind of show is this?
1) They didnt say it. A bum did. All they did was egg him on and laugh about it. And what they were laughing about was how outrageous the bum was, not the actual act of boning the first lady.
2) The bum who DID say it never mentioned or implied rape. All he said was that they needed some dick and he'd give it to them. Really no different than the "I'd hit it" you commonly hear on this board, just a bit less tactful. The media is spinning it as rape to oversimplify it and amplify the "outrage".
Stop believing what you hear at face value.
It's a pretty stupid, often offensive to all people, yet damn funny show, no less or more offensive than chapelle, chris rock etc (which are pretty damn offensive)
