And looking for money from a lawsuit.

Comedian Daniel Tosh has apologized today for making a female audience member the subject of a rape joke at a recent stand-up show in Los Angeles. The apology came after an account of the incident was posted on Tumblr.
The post, titled "A Girl Walks Into A Comedy Club," begins, "This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words."
. . .
The author claims that, after Tosh made "some very generalizing, declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny," she shouted back, "Actually, rape jokes are never funny!" That's when things allegedly got ugly:
After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, 'Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…' and I, completely stunned and finding it hard to process what was happening but knowing I needed to get out of there, immediately nudged my friend, who was also completely stunned, and we high-tailed it out of there. It was humiliating, of course, especially as the audience guffawed in response to Tosh, their eyes following us as we made our way out of there. I didn’t hear the rest of what he said about me.
After the post was re-blogged dozens of times and several personal blogs picked up on the story, including left-wing website ThinkProgress.org, Tosh offered this "sincere" if qualified apology via Twitter:
all the out of context misquotes aside, i'd like to sincerely apologize http://t.co/ptA7kJ2c
. . .
the point i was making before i was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. #deadbabies
The author concludes the post by explaining how she felt upon leaving the club:
I should probably add that having to basically flee while Tosh was enthusing about how hilarious it would be if I was gang-raped in that small, claustrophic room was pretty viscerally terrifying and threatening all the same, even if the actual scenario was unlikely to take place. The suggestion of it is violent enough and was meant to put me in my place.

Fuck that bitch.

:facepalm:
"Hey, that Daniel Tosh guy is so funny. Let's get tickets to his show."
"Yeah. Sounds like a great idea."
"I love when he completely humiliates people using completely inappropriate jokes and comments."
"Me too. He's that guy that always goes over the line."
"Yeah. But he better not make any jokes about me."
"And better not make any jokes that I disagree with."

Just so long as there are no more than six gang bang participants. I'm still trying to master seven.

mommy part shouldn't have stepped on his joke and heckled him.
Almost every comedy show I've ever been to, some dickface yells something back at the comedian, not realizing that that is the absolute most disrespectful thing in the world you can do to a comedian. They never smile and go "That was a really funny addition to my joke, what's your name? I need to write that down and add that to my act in future iterations. Thank you so much!"

I saw Tosh do his standup back in April. He said that at every show there is always some woman who gets offended by something he says or does. And he's like "Bitch, have you seen my show? Have you heard my brand of comedy? If not, why are you here?"
He was insulting as hell to damn near every race, color, gender, religion and sexual preference.
And I laughed my ass off.
