The ladies of The View could use a lesson in sensitivity….and perhaps an educational field trip to their local Rape Crisis Center. Sofia Vergara — who plays Ed O’Neill’s Colombian trophy wife on ABC’s new hit show Modern Family — was on The View this morning, where she cracked a tacky joke about rape to the robust cackles of Babs and the Gang.

Sofia — who’s a deadringer for a 25-year-old — has an 18-year-old son. How is that possible? She was raped when she was thirteen. Just kidding! Get’cha! Yeah — we didn’t find it funny, either. But the girls thought it was a riot.

This isn’t the first time the chattiest women in daytime have revealed their utter inability to “get” the seriousness of rape. We all remember Whoopi’s famous defense of Roman Polanski’s drugging and stautory rape of a 13-year-old girl; apparently, it wasn’t “rape rape.”
