Jerry Seinfeld


Jerry Seinfeld, while promoting his beehive film, makes poor decision to tell rape joke which causes an uproar from those who have to deal with rape issues every day. Jerry reportedly said, "Bees have the only perfect society on earth .. They have no crime, they have no drugs, they have no rape. A little rape, but it's not that bad."

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center reportedly said, "With what I hear about every single day, I don't find anything at all funny about rape, and I don't like it being made light of. I understand he's a comedian and he's inclined to find humor in everything, but it was offensive."

Seinfeld reportedly also said this about being married, "When you're a married guy, one thing you learn is it's no big deal to apologize.... It really makes everybody feel better. So you apologize. You don't even have to mean it!"

So much for a sincere apology I guess. Sad, really sad Mr. Seinfeld. And you used to be so funny. No apology reported yet from Seinfeld camp.

Yes an apology is in order. A sincere one too.

I don't know what he has to apologize for.... No offense but if you find that little pun offensive you either purposely look for things like that to get offended by or you recently got raped.... I mean come on people deal with it.. Don't like what he said fine don't listen to what he says... No ones forcing you right? And rape can be funny..... Ever hear of a dumb as small time thief going to jail in the same cell as Bubba the big male murderer???? Now that funny. People need to learn to get over shit.
