ol weak troller I see.
This quote, which gets passed around quite a bit (particularly following the Martin Freeman sh*t from last week), has become an unfortunate call to arms for all rape joke apologists and casual racists. It's reached a point where "what it really means" has become eclipsed by what it's been taken to mean, namely that you shouldn't get mad when something offensive is "just a joke."
The comment is from a debate from 2006 that Steven Fry had with the late Christopher Hitchens on the topic of blasphemy and the proposed British law to criminalize "incitements to religious hatred."
So your excuses coincide with those of rapist joke apologists, casual racists and people with religions hatred.
Coincidence? Maybe, if Santa is real too. Some where down the line you have many things in common with
these type of people.
