I don't think it's funny. But I also don't have a time machine.

ETA: I never said people in the 70s found it funny either. I said it has become less acceptable to make jokes of that nature. Whether it was funny or not is a whole different point. You quoted what I actually said, and then put your own spin on it. Nice work.

Sure. But who makes jokes like that? And what does it say about him that he did? pnwmom Feb 2014 #11

It says that he's acutely aware of the public's perception of him Orrex Feb 2014 #15

this joke is from an article hfojvt Feb 2014 #19

Doh. Didn't realize that. 1976 was a very different time. Orrex Feb 2014 #25

makes me wonder if Manhattan was released today what the reaction would be. bettyellen Feb 2014 #53

Good call. "Husbands and Wives" explores that very topic. Orrex Feb 2014 #56

"Rape jokes were common in mainstream media..." KansDem Feb 2014 #183

That wasn't the public's perception when he was 40. He hadn't quite earned that reputation yet. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #87

Yeah, my fault for not realizing the date of the article Orrex Feb 2014 #91

You make a larger point that I've been wondering about. The incident with Dylan pnwmom Feb 2014 #93

Hard to say Orrex Feb 2014 #99

It's not so much about Soon-Yi as about Soon-Yi's siblings, pnwmom Feb 2014 #102

Like I said, creepy. Orrex Feb 2014 #104

it's also about Woody making choices that led him and Soon Yi to lie and betray her own mother... bettyellen Feb 2014 #107

Ah, we can spot child molesters by their humor! aquart Feb 2014 #116

Why aren't you taking this allegation as seriously as you would an allegation against a priest? n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #119

Scroll down. Mia is the abuser, not Woody, and I am stunned you all failed to pick up on it. aquart Feb 2014 #126
