Specifically, the hosts did not leave the "all women should be raped" op, it was hidden by jury vote before it was even considered by the hosts. There was nothing for us to do. But carry on bashing the hosts in an appreciation thread that by the standards of the "lock it if it aint in the sop crowd" ought to be locked.
