This girl I met at an Arcade Fire concert (I should mention we were front row, at a free concert, waited for like 9 hours, no big deeeeaaallll) blogged about the recent controversy surrounding the Daniel Tosh's insensitive rape joke and following uber-asshole-/asshole-can't-even-describe-that-kind-of-ignorance remarks. She wrote an essay in response to it and Louis CK actually quoted her on The Daily Show while talking about the issue.
First of all one big congrats to her. The essay is powerful and makes some really good points that are just common sense, which I would argue, seems to indicate a lack of common sense on the part of those who defend rape jokes. I don't know this girl well at all, but I am proud to know several bloggers who are making a difference in the way people think, and hopefully making a difference in the culture today.
