Bill Cosby Makes Rape Joke at Stand-Up Show, Audience Loves It: Report
Bill Cosby finally acknowledged the allegations piling up against him during his second night of stand-up in Canada by warning a female audience member to be careful drinking around him, according to reports.
One National Post reporter, Richard Warnica, detailed the encounter on Twitter, which was echoed by other users.
"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby just said to a woman in the crowd. Loud gasps from the audience.

"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby says to somebody who appears to be leaving voluntarily.

According to Warnica Cosby initiated the discussion when "A woman in the front row got up to go get a drink. Cosby asked her where she was going. She asked him if he wanted a drink. He said no, he already had one (a bottle of water). Then he continued 'You have to be careful about drinking around me.'"
So how did his first public acknowledgement of the allegations pending against him go over with the crowd? Pretty well!!!!!
The gasps then changed to cheers and applause.
