ahhh!

So after yet another friend told me that she was raped a week ago, seeing this video just made me crazy! Why are rape jokes and metaphors acceptable, or considered funny? I don't understand how having a hard test is anywhere equivalent to the reality of rape. I know that sometimes we tend to go a bit overboard on what is "politically correct," but I don't think anyone could argue that language and our use of it demonstrates much about the mentality of a culture. Thoughts anyone?
