What's the deal with Oversensitivity?

Jerry Seinfeld, promoting his new Bee movie, said this:
"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."
And naturally he now has anti-rape groups up his ass for being pro-rape and insensitive, according to Radar Magazine. From Karen Baker, who is head of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center:
"It surprised me, frankly, because I've always been a Jerry Seinfeld fan," she says. "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."
Someone get the stick out of her ass. First of all, how on earth was the remark offensive? Just because you mention something doesnt mean you are promoting it - it's not like rapists got together and paid Seinfeld to be their spokesman. (which actually sounds like it would be a funny SNL skit).

Second of all, is there a less polarizing issue than rape? Is anyone pro-rape? It's not like the nation was split 50/50 in favor of rape vs. against rape, and now that Seinfeld mentioned it, the scales will tip towards the pro-rape side.

Get a life people. I'm looking forward to when Evan starts his anti-protest protest group.



Does this man look like a rape advocate??
