There's also some hard truth to what he said. Child molesters weren't as big of a deal in the 70's and before. We had a child molester in his 50s having sex with one of my female classmates at least since she was 13. It was a small town and everyone knew about it, including the girl's parents, and nobody seemed to care. He would even pick her up and drop her off from school and everyone knew what was going on. I've heard many people tell similar stories from back then. Legal age of consent really didn't mean much. So long as people thought the child was a willing participant, people tended to blow it off.

I can certainly see why people would be offended by his jokes and it's not something I think is funny, but sometimes comedy is a very effective way of raising awareness about social injustice. Someone should be talking about why child molestation wasn't a big deal back then, especially since so many people are nostalgic for the "good ol' days". There's lots of things about those times which weren't good at all.
