    This...

    "Woman who falsely accused 15 men of throwing her off a bridge jailed for 10 years"

    "Looks it it would have been a 15 man job, lol!"

    ...wouldn't seem like a normalisation of throwing people off bridges, because it's just a fat joke (albeit a crap one).

    Yeah, I'm just not convinced that it deserves the outrage that a straightforward rape joke does, because it's obviously a joke about her weight. It's still shit, but then so is she.
