This maybe a stretch... Personally I kinda knew something was off about Bill Cosby. I love both of his shows but I am talking about the person not the doctor and father on "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World". Rape is Rape plain and simple but if he did this I hope he is willing to atone for his actions and pray for forgiveness. But I always had in the back of my mind of why Lisa Bonet suddenly left the show to join another... Was it because of his actions or hers... Now I am just starting rumors and conjecture. But seriously if he did this I will be looking at him differently.

Hahaha!!! Teflon, I tell ya! Standing ovations, still rakin in the bucks, and only about a dozen picketers showed up. Probably all in the same van! LOL

If these things really DID happen, then I guess you can say that some good comes of it. Women now know that either you summon the courage to open your mouth when it happens, or live with the consequences. All through this century, men were FORCED to go to war against their will, got their legs shot off, and God knows what else... compared to that, these women look like whiners.

I dont know why you break this down into a man vs woman thing. As if women havent been forced into f--ked up situations. Trauma of all types can (and does) happen to anyone regardless of what's between your legs. This is just more deflection from the real issue

Now rape victims who are too scared, broken, and humiliated to speak up are just "whiners". Wow, I honestly don't know how you make it through a day being so incredibly, dangerously ignorant.

and don't forget so incredibly stupid he makes other stupid people seem smart

Making a rape joke onstage at his show? I can't say that I'm surprised that this would come out the mouth of a man that thought it kosher to clown a quadriplegic for not being able to stand up.

I'm not sure what to say if hundreds (?) of people gave a standing ovation for a rape joke. What part of Canada was this anyway?

London, ON

Thanks.

I don't even know what to say. If you want to show support and think Cosby has been wrongly accused - I don't agree, but it's your money, do with it what you wish. But standing and applauding when he jokes about raping women? Just disgusting.

This has brought out the worst of many people.

Disgusting. This isn't something he should have done whether guilty or innocent to be honest

I kind of envy those of you who are surprised by Cosby's ovation. I'm not. He's going to have a small but VERY devoted fan base from here on out. It's going to be filled with other rapists, MRAs, women who hate other women, women who hate themselves, people who named their first -born "Rudy", etc... but he's gonna have them and they are going to be crazily devoted. You can find people who love anything. That's why we have things like NAMBLA and Ben Carson.

I wish I could have been surprised, but I wasn't. It doesn't make neither his "joke" nor the reaction of the crowd any less tacky though. Just not surprising.

I get along fine, because everyone around me has the same opinion. Just because this board is some microcosm of people whose no lye relaxer has eaten away their last brain cell, does not mean the rest of the country is like that. And YES... they are whiners. Either take some action or stop bitching. It would be one thing if these were children, the are grown ass women. And since every one of them has by their own admission taken illegal drugs.. they are obviously drug whores as well, and sorry, but those types cannot be trusted.

They're no Brenda Dickson.

Meth is a helluva drug.

I'm surprised you were able to type that, Marceline... what with a bucket of chicken in one hand, and a crack pipe in the other.

I can't with this sad has-been ass queen trying to start these AARP-endorsed reads.

Well, this is tasteless:

Maybe one has come forward that can prosecute?
