    This very same comment was made 'live on air' over 30 years ago by an American news broadcaster. The outcome of that situation was also inevitable!

    Wikipedia: Tex Antoine
    Herbert Jon Antoine, Jr. (April 21, 1923 – January 12, 1983), known professionally as Tex Antoine, was an American meteorologist on New York City television for nearly three decades. He was born as Herbert Jon Antoine, Jr., in Illinois, and was raised in California and Texas.

    Rape quip and final years
    On November 24, 1976, his weather spot came up just after a report of a violent rape of a five year old girl. Tex thereupon quipped: “With rape so predominant in the news lately, it is well to remember the words of Confucius: ‘If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it.’” Roger Grimsby led the 11 p.m. newscast that night with the official apology from WABC. His joke got Tex Antoine suspended, then fired. Antoine closed out his career with a brief stint as weatherman for WNEW-TV in 1977.

    It's astounding how many people have shot themselves in the foot by posting their stupidity on FB
