But I don't think the "Vagina Punch" video (which I'd seen before on funnyordie and now is on the front page of ucbcomedy.com) is funny. Basically the conceit is that a dude punches a woman in the crotch. No sound. The guy hits her, and she appears to wince in pain. I gather that it's fake and everything, but it seems mean-spirited in its presentation--tantamount to, say, restaging the Matthew Shepard attack without any larger context. I will agree that the concept of a crotch punch --to a man or a woman-- could work well in the context of a sketch or improv scene. But the thing itself -- punching a woman qua punching a woman -- seems a little lacking in the hilarity department.

Or maybe I'm missing something. I am almost 30, and generally sourpuss anyway.
