Tosh is funny. I bet you people think it is hilarious when he makes inappropriate jokes about other people/cultures, but when it's about something you care about, he's just an insensitive *****.
While it was a low blow, I have to agree(at least in principle) with el tigre. Tosh has done jokes just as tatseless and we've laughed. It just feels more insulting because we're the targeted group.
there's a difference between making fun of an entire lacrosse team (duke) for all them being rapists, but when students get killed it's a different story. Unless he does a virgina tech joke next episode, I call bull*****
Also, the OP could not have been more wrong. He wasn't taping the show in Austin and the sexuality of the dude in the pink banana hammock who paints portraits with his ding dong was never confirmed.
