Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.

I appreciate the toned-down response, so thanks for that. As to whether or not it really was a sex joke, I can't say for sure one way or the other. It's anybody's guess. People should interpret it how they see fit. But I saw it differently and offered up my interpretation, backed with information that supported what led me to it, so that I wouldn't be thought of as a blind supporter.

I'm actually not even a supporter or regular viewer of them at all (I've watched the odd video here and there, just on occasion). Just someone who heard about all of this and got curious. I watched the apology video and that segment struck me as innocent for the reasons I stated. And it's totally fair if someone wants to interpret it differently. I just think it's unfair to conclude with 100% certainty that it must have been a sex joke and therefore everyone who watched it should be offended by it.
