Can either of you point to the part of my comment where I actually defended the joke? Where I said it was acceptable?

No?

James, can you point to where I accused you of defending the joke or saying it was acceptable?

No?

Let’s review:

What you said, and what I highlighted and down-dinged was:

I can at least get the humor they were TRYING to convey…

And what I replied was:

I can’t. Would you feel the same if they’d said that about your daughter or your little sister or your niece? Somehow I doubt it.

Meaning I cannot GET the HUMOR in using such a vile & overtly sexual term to describe a 9-year-old little girl under ANY circumstances, and I doubt you’d be able to either if it had been directed at a beloved child in your family. If I’m wrong and you could indeed tolerate such a thing, then we inhabit vastly different internal universes, and no amount of debate or discussion is going to make us see eye to eye.
