"Woody Allen sidesteps a rape joke at Cannes"

“I never read anything about me, these interviews I do, anything,” Woody Allen said at a press luncheon for his new film Café Society Thursday during the 69th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. And in the last few days, there has been a lot to read.

As a tony audience assembled for Allen’s premiere and the festival’s opening-night ceremony on Wednesday, French comedian Laurent Lafitte stuck le foot in le mouth when he made a wisecrack alluding that Allen and Roman Polanski have something in common: “It’s very nice that you’ve been shooting so many movies in Europe, even if you are not being convicted for rape in the U.S.”

Woody responds...

I am completely in favor of comedians making any jokes they want,” he told Variety. “I am a non-judgmental or -censorship person on jokes. I'm a comic myself and I feel they should be free to make whatever jokes they want. It would take a lot to offend me.”

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
