I think you are missing my point, we don't think prison rape is funny we think the movie Office Space is funny. It was written and directed by Mike Judge, who is a very funny guy. He wrote Beavis and Butthead too, which we also think is funny. If you haven't seen the movie you should watch it, you will laugh. Anyway, we're referencing a movie, not making fun of prison rape. I've seen Office Space about 15 times and I don't remember the line "do some time staring at a one-piece, no-clog toilet in a solitary prison cell" from the movie anywhere.

Of course you didn't start the practice of joking about prison rape. Sadly, it's a common "joke". But it really isn't a joke. For more info, see Stop Prison Rape.
Creative, outrageous, offensive humor is fine with me. Can't you do better than a nerd "joke" that isn't really nerdy, that isn't original, and that doesn't offend most people (even thought everyone should be offended)?
How about alternative language, "Unless you’re a total knob and Bode Media Inc feels you need to do some time staring at a one-piece, no-clog toilet in a solitary prison cell"?

Hey Blackearth, that's not us being assholes, it's actually a nerd joke referencing the movie Office Space. Check these for more info:

minimal level of human decencyI like that you don't write like stodgy old media, but please don't support the trivialization of raping men. Specially, drop the clause "Unless you’re a total knob and Bode Media Inc feels you need to do some hard time in pound me in the ass prison" in your Terms of Use page. Please!
