Is rape on TV ever ok?


So much talk about the Rescue Me spousal rape scene. Did the FX show go too far?

Personally, while it was certainly upsetting, I think the question of whether the show went too far shouldn't be up for debate. To me, thats censorship. Did I want to see it? No. Did I cringe a bit? Yes. Do I think anyone should be reprimanded for it? Actually, no. FX is a cable show - granted, not pay cable - but if you're watching the show, you kinda know what you're getting into.

I think it made the character of Tommy Gavin that much more unlikeable, but to be honest, I never liked him much anyway.

What do you think? Take my poll so we can see.
