Domestic Violence is far from a joke!
I could not believe my eyes when I was reading in my local regional magazine that there was a joke about a man shooting his wife over a misspelt email! In Australia 1 woman a week dies from violent behaviour by a past or current partner. This is not something to joke about. Ask people like Rosie Batty who got Australian of the year for the tireless work she has done to work against Domestic Violence whether she thinks it's funny!
It is the acceptance of humor like this that promotes apathy against domestic violence!
I hope that they will apologise for such distasteful humor.
It is standing up for these little things that will make the difference please don't let apathy numb your conscience.
Here is a link to Rosie Batty receiving her award:
