OMG! Shocking cartoon in today's Metro - serial rapists are fanicable apparantly

[Katiekitty]

Oh my god, I am unable to make any sense of this - in today's Metro, page 31, the This Life cartoon shows this:

Two women in a bar, one drinking wine, one says to the other: "I met him on the internet - he's not interested in football, games consoles, old cars or the history channel - who cares if he's a serial rapist?'

This is absolutely disgusting! Or am I missing the point here or something? It's on a page with horoscopes, puzzles and sudoku - a bit of lighthearted stuff, then a joke about serial rapists. Not funny. Or AIBU?

I've logged a complaint with the newspaper editor, I wonder if they'll have the gumption to explain how this slipped through and got into the newspaper?

Please feel free to tell me I'm experiencing a sense of humour bypass and showing unreasonableness, but I think I'm right here...

YABU.

Sense of humour bypass, anyone?

Ha ha - yeah it is old. Should have read to the end first!

But anyway, OP if you are out there - YABU!

What laweaelmys muffle RealityIsMyOnlyDelusion ThePregnantHedgeWitch solidgoldbrass StealthPolarBear and others said.

YABVU and, as someone else pointed out, deliberately obtuse. You and Dittany should run away together and form a wimmin only commune where nobody is ever allowed to use satire or humour ever.

I only read to page 5 and can't read any more as the endless circles are making me dizzy and nauseous (or maybe it's the cloying airlessness of rabid feminism). I am a feminisist, and am agog at any woman who says she isn't.... but really... this is just silly.

Grrrr Sleepinglion - you've made me look at the date now; I didn't even notice how old this is.

This brings back some memories!

Ah, how time flies....

What a good idea to run away... Dittany - if ever you're up for it, post here!

btw - peering - what do you mean by 'wimmin' please explain?

I've seen this cartoon have several dubious things in it - one character saying to the other 'I got on the bus today and there were actually people speaking English on there!' or shit like this: goo.gl/bCJv

Usually I just think it's terribly dated, 1983 toilet book type stuff, but occasionally it ereally pisses me off.
