I actually laughed at that joke.
No, stop it, dont call the feminist police.
What I laughed at mostly the way he delivered the joke, he did'nt just say "hahah women are crap drivers, is'nt that funny", he made a comment about the title of a magazine and then lead upto the punchline, and the best part was, he never said the punchline, he let the viewer say it themself.
Alexei Sayle once said that he spends months thinking of clever and meaningful jokes, his team spends thousands of pounds building complex sets, and he gets the bigest joke of his career by saying things in a silly voice.
Sexism is so unescessary, all men are such bastards...

What did he say? I missed it.
Sorry Doc, I forgot to put the <irony> </irony> tags around my text!
Yeah, I thought you were probly kidding.

I walked out on This forum because of that "all men are such bastards" routine.
claiming that "all men are bastards" is just as bad as claiming "all women are bad drivers"
But we are, and they are.
Speak for yourself.
