The Huffington Post's entertainment section brought this gem to my attention - apparently the show Tosh.0 is encouraging its viewers to touch women without their consent, and post the interactions on Youtube. They say:
On a recent episode, Tosh introduced a new segment of the show called "lightly touching women’s stomachs while they’re sitting down." "This is where you sneak up behind women who are sitting and lightly put your hand upon their stomach," Tosh explains. "Make sure she's aware that you are in fact feeling a roll."

| Your show isn't funny, Daniel. |
I am not a member of your target audience as I don't have a penis. Also, I have never been interested in watching viral videos 5 days too late.
So I guess in your world that means that I just don't have a sense of humour - in reality, you're just not actually funny to me in the least.
What is especially (specifically! pointedly!) not funny to me, is the idea that you think it is hilarious to fat shame women AND grope them without their consent.
Insulting, gross, and sexist? Sure! But not funny.
You are using your influence to encourage your audience to touch countless women and make them feel violated. In what universe is it okay to violate another human being? Or to urge your 3.1 million viewers to do the same?
You're obnoxious.
Sincerely,
Marg Craig.
