Gangly Welsh "funny" man and most recently Sienna Miller's ex-fiance Rhys Ifans has traditionally been one of the blokes on Defamer Australia's "would love to get a beer with" list (alongside his female peers Charlotte Church, Tina Sparkle and Kiera Knightley).

However, I will be formally rescinding his membership after his latest "hilarious" gaffe: saying date rape is a-okay!

When asked by station Q Radio to describe a track by band the Gutter Twins the Welshman replied: 'It's kind of like being date raped, which I like.'

When the presenter asked whether date rape was a good thing he said: 'Well yeah, for guys.'

Graham Rhodes, spokesman for a the Roofie Foundation, a helpline for victims of drug-related date rape, said: 'If he wasn't to retract that, it would be nice for the 9,000 people who have been drug raped in the past 12 years.

'It shows a total lack of understanding and compassion for the issues.'

This is not the first time Ifans' sense of humour has been badly received.

Earlier this year he joked about paedophilia during a concert in aid of raising money to end child slavery and prostitution.

Oh, excellent work, Rhys. We're sure you'll be very happy with Kimberly Stewart, unless she decides she's not too keen on the idea of going out with a complete twonk who thinks it's lawltastic to make gags about rape. Onya!
