I was sure this was going to be a brilliant Onion article.

 

[Morat]

Straight out of a south park episode. Amazing

 

[Hazmat]

Trump is President.

Cosby is lecturing kids about sexual assault.

Hazmat drinks.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Wooooooow

 

[Prototype Viktor]

It's his version of OJ's If I Did It book

 

[Xe4]

And I'm sure there are more.

No doubt. For every two women that came forward, it wouldn't shock me if there were 1-2 that stayed silent for their own reasons.

He is a gross man, and I'm saddened I only learned of it recently. He should have been exposed years ago.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Nonono.

Nonononono.

No.

Please stop now?

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I'll be honest when I saw the Cosby show as a kid I didn't think "man this guy is gonna go on tour and teach kids how to get away with rape".

 

[Sony]

Ignorant question but: if he did do it, why isn't he behind bars? If everyone knows he did it I mean. Is it a case of lack of evidence?

Not meaning to cause trouble, I'm literally ignorant on the subject/case.

 

[azyless]

Holy fuck. What a scumbag.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

I was just about to post this, damn you

 

[sixteen-bit]

this is so gross

The standard for "beyond a reasonable doubt" was difficult to prove given the age of the case. It was a situation where technically him getting off had to be the outcome because the evidence for that one particular incident wasn't there. OJ was kinda similar with the whole glove thing which sunk that trial.

But when 40+ women come forward with very identical stories of when they were raped but unfortunately their statute of limitations was up, then he's almost definitely guilty.

 

[norinrad]

Holyshit this is real. Wtf?

 

[MsKrisp]

"Laws are changing, the statute of limitations for victims of sexual assault are being extended, so this is why people need to be educated on … a brush against the shoulder. Anything at this point can be considered sexual assault. It's a good thing to be educated about the laws."

Oh for fucks sake

Thought it was the officer who lied under oath about never saying the N-word was what tanked the trial

That too I'm sure! I was like 14 at the time so my memory is fuzzy.

I remember "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"

 

[Spinluck]

This is just as bad as when OJ wrote that book.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

There is some work to be done on the often intentional vagueness of sex crime laws, the completely overbearing sex offender registry, and the increasing prevalence of career/life destroying false allegations...

...but Bill Cosby is not the man to deliver this message. It's not only counterproductive to a worthwhile discussion, it makes him seem all the more vile. He needs to stay quiet for the rest of his miserable days.

 

[Trojita]

The joke about Cosby mentoring young men is literally a south park joke.

 

[tedrotheredro]

Cosby's gonna track down the real rapists, they're out there somewhere.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Fuck everything you just said. I cant even with this bullshit. What about the women who have to see their husband everyday after he rapes her everynight. Or Women who work under bosses who expect favors to move up in the company, or daughters with creepy dads and uncles.
No, we have to look out for that minuscule number of poor souls who get caught up it someones crazy.
Have some fucking empathy.

Proving rape is hard because everyone thinks its a myth unless another crime is commited during it, like physically damaging them, or holding them hostage.

What are you talking about? Empathy for the falsely accused and empathy for actual victims are not mutually exclusive.

I'll not accept a scenario where any innocent lives are destroyed. I think that's a pretty reasonable stance to take, instead of letting people be collateral damage to justice.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Figured I might as well post this here instead of in the mistrial topic again as I did the other story on the mistrial basically coming about because two of the 12 jurors seemingly had their minds already made up before the trial even started. Here's one of them

Cosby juror says he didn't believe 'well-coached' Constand

 

[HStallion]

Maybe Roman Polanski wants to film this and make an educational video out of it.

 

[Bakercat]

Make sure you drug'em real good kids, that way they don't remember the next day and go snitchen to the police.

 

[WordAssassin]

Oh my fucking god I've heard of the book before but I've never actually seen it, is that REALLY the real cover or did someone photoshop it? Are the words "I DID IT" serious in red on the real thing!??!?!

Edit: I just looked up the book and its history, jesus christ

 

[Slayven]

I have sadly seen this posted on my facebook.

Do I even want to know what this means?

Hotep logic

 

[Cairax]

The Coz is going to come rolling in on those gargantuan sized cajones like a hoveround.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

While this issue should be addressed, it should not be addressed by Cliff Huxtable.

This 2017 is what happens when kids get a hold of dads time machine in 1000 years.

 

[Anion]

I feel like the people who show up to this stunt will holler and rightfully state what he is

 

[uncelestial]

Gee, Bill, I don't think most people need help with that.

 

[Lucky Seven]

Lol exactly what came to mind when I saw this!

 

[Galactic Specter]

This sums up how I feel, it's good to have a discussion about the dangers of false accusations but of all people did it have to be taught by Bill Cosby?

It honestly sounds like an Onion headline.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Literally thought this was an Onion headline

 

[The Kree]

Johnny Storm out here teaching kids how they can help prevent forest fires.

 

[Wag]

It was never actually published, at least like that. That was a photoshop.

This is the book in its final form.

 

[Sunster]

fuck this guy

OT but nah, son.

 

[Royce McCutcheon]

It's kinda like going to Steve Harvey for relationship advice.

 

[Game-Biz]

Trump is President.

Hazmat drinks.

All the proof I need that I am in a simulation of some sort.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Yeah fuck Cosby forever. I will make doubly sure that no media I consume has his face or any connection to him at all in the future. This is sick and anyone claiming its 'necessity' from his mouth is in the business of enabling monsters like Cosby

 

[Replicant]

Disgusting. So disappointed in him. I used to adored him as a kid.

 

[double jump]

I'm all for education to curb and stop sexual assault but why would anybody listen to the guy who gets multiple F's in this subject? Bruh, no !

 

[Krev]

It's no photoshop. It was published like that but cancelled before it reached stores.

Evil pos.

 

[Wabba]

Wait, i totally missed the mistrial. What happened? It should be enough evidence to lock this man in for the rest of his life or at least he should be trailed?

 

[Sad Affleck]

It feels like we are all living inside a parody.
