He's definitely a master of his craft in his ability to find the humor in just about anything without attacking or "punching down" at it.
He actually confronted that bit on his own show. It leads to a pretty interesting discussion.
I LOVE that it's long and uncomfortable. It's supposed to make people uncomfortable.
Yeah, I don't think this is commentary on forcing yourself to be attracted to someone who you're not attracted to. It's about letting societal pressure bully you out of being attracted to someone who you ARE attracted to.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN... you know, the child who presented the art piece about a personal and painful part of her life and environment. Or do you mean the other ones who are unwittingly exposed to rape culture already?
Let's face it, a school district art show is never going to be the place "officially" to display confrontational, complex pieces. However the hulabaloo that arises when you do is worth the rejection.
