Snake's Alive!
I totally agree with everything you've said and I feel exactly the same way about it as you...the issue was not the actual joke itself, more the circumstances surrounding the joke...keep that sort of joke for the pub with the boys Wally, not when you are sitting across from a young girl on national television.It's not about 'enraging' most women (I know there are militant feminists whose default setting is 'rage'), but I reckon Allana Ferguson would've felt at least a bit uncomfortable.
I'm the first person to tell an un-PC joke amongst friends (including male friends), but there's always something creepy about a much older man tossing that type of innuendo around when it's directed at a much younger woman/girl he doesn't know in that way. Definitely got a fair bit of the 'creepy Uncle Wally' vibe about it.
I work with a guy who does stuff like this, asks inappropriate questions about relationship histories, tries to give dating advice etc to me and a couple of other women (all between 20-35 years younger than him)...it's awkward and uncomfortable, but he got offended when I told him he was a dirty old man?!
