Of course it was going to come to this. Paparazzi runs into a far too talkative star and asks the said star a topical question for no other reason besides the fact that he/she is a star. This week's topical question: Do you think Bill Cosby is a rapist? The person questioned: UFC fighter Jon Jones.

"I've never met him, but from what I've seen, he seems to be a class act," Jones said when TMZ asked. "I grew up admiring him as a black actor, and I really hope that's not true.

"He's Bill Cosby. He shouldn't have to take it. They should be..." Jones then gestures to say women should just be giving it out.

Yes, he's joking. But it's that line of thinking that leads to horrors like this.
