To think this card is inappropriate?

Saw this in a supermarket the other day. I find it very distasteful and almost upsetting. Surely if we're condemning sexual violence, we're condemning all sexual violence? Rape jokes are not acceptable, so why is a card joking about serious sexual assault OK?

To think this card is inappropriate?

It's an old joke. Meanwhile, talk to any A and E staff and they will tell you that the vast majority of people who present with foreign objects (including household items such as handles, foodstuffs and more) irretrievably inserted into the anus are men who have done it to themselves.
It's not exactly rare.

Fifty...and really can't believe that all the offended haven't got their tongues firmly in their cheeks.

...as opposed to between someone else's unconsenting cheeks.

Did it honestly make you laugh? Be honest now.

It's not "woke" to thing this is inappropriate to joke about.

Irretrievable? You mean they couldn’t get it out themselves but the medics could? Or did the medics have to a leave them up there?

It's a joke. On a card.

Yes. There's been offended people since the dawn of time. Not a new 'woke' thing.

"First world" is an outdated and offensive term

That's the most first world comment I've heard.

I guess not - if you’ve forgotten it already.
