their site is terrible mess
[Boyle, 49, defended the remarks when
questioned by an audience member at
a Waterstones launch event for his latest novel.]
[At the time, the End Violence
Against Women Coalition commented:
'His tweet trivialises the experience of
rape victims and sends a signal to
those who might commit rape that
it is not a serious crime. Revolting.'
Elsewhere in his Latitude Festival set,
Boyle defended people's right to
be offended by jokes but he admitted
that he had stopped posting gags
on Twitter in order to avoid repercussions.
He cited one example where he
considered making a joke about
the death of Sir Sean Connery.]
