Sarah Silverman has backtracked on her Joke about all of the recent accusations of rape which have been leveled against Bill Cosby.
Silverman had told her more than 5 million followers on Twitter, “Bill Cosby gave me one of those ‘don’t be dirty’ lectures but I was unconscious & he was talking about my a-hole.” An hour later she engaged in self-censorship and re-tweeted, “Bill Cosby gave me one of those ‘don’t be dirty’ lectures but I was rendered unconscious.”

Not OK, ” “So the humor here is that real women have, in the past & recently, come forward about being raped by this man?” “This is the dumbest tweet I’ve ever read…. And I’ve seen some damn dumb tweets, ” and “Maybe I’m just a downer, but decent ppl don’t take the horrendous crimes committed against others as joke opportunities.”
