Actor-comedian Rainn Wilson ("The Office") apologized Tuesday for tweeting a date-rape joke.
Following an Internet outcry after he posted "If I were ever date raped I would want it to be to 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin," Wilson, 46, removed the tweet and wrote to his followers, "Apparently my poorly conceived date-rape tweet upset a lot of folks. Not a good topic to joke about. Sorry & won't do that again."
