******** TRIGGER WARNING FOR THE COMMENTS ********
OH GODS DON'T LOOK DOWN, THERE ARE SO MANY LINKS! WHICH WILL YOU CLICK FIRST?!?! (how about this one...?) The Jaffa Cake Game video: http://youtu.be/agh8uXNYbkY
On rape jokes:
Why rape jokes are a problem: http://www.shakesville.com/2011/03/feminism-101-helpful-hints-for-dudes.html
Why rape jokes aren't the same as 'dead baby' jokes: http://afternoonsnoozebutton.com/post/27126498887/why-rape-jokes-are-uniquely-bad
Rapists who don't think they're rapists (on that 1 in 20 figure): http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/11/12/rapists-who-dont-think-theyre-rapists/
One of the best responses to the Daniel Tosh incident: http://austin.culturemap.com/newsdetail/07-12-12-14-37-the-best-response-weve-heard-to-daniel-toshs-misquoted-rape-jokes /
Why this isn't about causing 'offence': http://finenessandaccuracy.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/i-dont-care-if-youre-offended/
Wanda Sykes jokes about rape culture NOT rape victims (TRIGGER WARNING): http://youtu.be/R8FfFwtL91Q
On the science of humour:
My info was from Quirkology a popular psychology book by Richard Wiseman, you can find more about it here: http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/books/quirkology-the-curious-science-of-everyday-life/
The specific chapter is on his Laugh Lab experiment to find the world's funniest joke: http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/books/psychology-of-humour/
And there's a bit about the superiority principle here: http://www.richardwiseman.com/LaughLab/super.html
Also worth watching is this video on another principle, that of incongruity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddV6jyDeCKA
