> Not one person I know finds jokes about very young children that include some form of sexual abuse, to be funny.

Yet I wonder how many people on this forum laughed a Leslie Nielsen in the movie Airplane asking little Tommy if he’d ever seen a grown man naked.

Just askin’.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I found it really repulsive, and it lowered Peter Graves (it was he, not Nielsen), drastically, in my opinion of him.

I can see why you would address that, but I don’t see it quite the same as mentioning specific sex acts and advancing the idea that it was funny when children were victimized by adults.

While off color, that was extremely tame in comparison.

...a grown man.
Personally,I cringed.
But the “Turkish Prison” got a chuckle.

In my case, I was uncomfortable hearing that. Movie would have still been my favorite if the scene wasn’t there.
