Dustin Penner on Saturday learned the hard way that rape jokes are no laughing matter.

Penner, a winger who spent nine seasons in the NHL but is currently a free agent, tweeted some questions about acquaintance rape in an apparent attempt to be funny.

Penner apparently missed the first lesson of Twitter: Don’t hit send.
