Everyone knows I have no problems walking the edge of good taste. Of course the wife loved it as we both laughed uncomfortably at this given the TSA issue in the news. One one hand, I think it is a great play on words. On the other I would never want to minimize the effects of someone who has actually been raped or make too much light of it.
So I am leaving it up to you. Offensive or not.

This cartoon was inspired by recent events where actor/director Kevin Smith was unceremoniously booted off a Southwest Airlines Flight because they claimed he was too big to put the armrest down. He claimed otherwise but was still booted.
Now of course I exaggerated Kevin’s weight above but this brings up the bigger question. Should overweight people be forced to purchase two seats on planes where the seats are way smaller than they should be? I am sure that if you go back 50 years people were skinnier and airline seats were bigger.
But on the other hand, what about the rights of the person who paid full price for their ticket as well and had to suffer from someone invading their already small space. As someone who is over 6′ tall and broad-shouldered, I realize that my frame could impede a seatmate on a plane. That is why I have moved to window seats so I can scruntch that extra 2 inches towards the window.
