If you were a man you might not be ok with his "humour", if you were a woman you might find him hilarious.

Taste is subjective and follows no gender stereotype.

You are so hilariously wrong in this matter I am tempted to think you are pulling my leg about it.

You make it sound like you know this guy personally and that your certainty of his guilt is based on some kind of inside knowledge.

I feel safe in the assumption that no ex-wives, sons, cheerleaders or sex workers were killed in the making of these reviews.

Nor do I believe he harbors secret ambitions to take up mass murder either.

Sorry Bingo, but I don't buy it.  Sure, a man might not be ok with the humor (as VINH and I are not), and yeah, some women might be ok with it.  But you can't really think that a lot of women won't have a problem with rape and wife-killing jokes. 

Rape and wife-killing are gender issues, because male-rape (i.e. the man is the victim) and husband-killing aren't anywhere near as common (at least as far as I can tell).

No one thinks this guy is guilty of these crimes.  No one thinks he ok with doing these things.  But he obviously thinks they are funny, at least in the context he's presented them.  And I didn't agree.
