Click the link, there is no way I can properly convey how stupid this ad actually is.

Damn women, tempting us irresistably with their sticky sweetness.

It the most regressive public awareness ad I've ever seen.

It's sadly how it's done in these backward countries.

Studies have shown, 50% of people actually enjoy rape.

The ad is anti-rape.

It's not an ad for rape.

Rapists have never gotten together to run a public information campaign.

Except, maybe Roman Polanski

I'm afraid that you're wrong about that. In America in the 1950's, a group of men started an association, called DICKS, with the sole purpose of trying to encourage women to basically hop on the nearest bloke to them.

Here's a poster from their advertising campaign..

Hehehe. But in reality, it's probably more like 90%

9 out of 10 enjoy it, but there's always one.

Needless to say it didn't work!

Stupid bloody ad from a stupid bloody country where women are treated like dirt and second class citizens anyway. Pay no attention.

Eh, WTF is wrong with you two? Just because you use a smilie doesn't make it funny. Trying to get an acceptance into that 1950s group starbelgrade mentioned, are we?

Is it an actual picture ad? or is it a video transmission? *confused*

Agreed, it is a terrible ad, I don't feel like raping a woman any more than I did before I looked at it.

By the way for anyone interested the blog in the link (pharyngula) happens to be an excellent one.

Dammit, I knew I should have used a disclaimer. I even checked to make sure we were in AH where I thought everyone had a sense of humour. It seems I've gone too far.

Millicent, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

I have a sense of humour. I just get tired of the "ah ha ha, rape is funny, hur hur" crap that I see around these parts sometimes. 'Specially when the original joke was crap.

My feelings are fine though. No offence taken.

I 100 percent agree with this post - except the ''pay no attention'' part. I think we should acknowlege how dreadful those women have it. I feel so helpless I can not do anything for the women in those countries subjected to this. It is so very wrong, makes me angrey/upset/frustrated.

Glad to hear that. Maybe you'd enjoy my earlier, less risqué attempt at humour on another thread here somewhere.

Pot, kettle blacksploitation shocker? Maybe you should check out the Rape Crisis Centre/ Hunky Dorys Ad thread . The exact same bullsh1t gets shat out in this country pretty frequently too.

(Best. Rape. Ads. Ever.)?

The Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) has lodged a formal complaint against an advertising campaign for Hunky Dory crisps.

The complaint, to the Advertising Standards Authority, was made against a campaign featuring women in revealing tops playing rugby under straplines such as “Are you staring at my crisps?” and “Tackle these”.

The RCNI claimed the posters were sending out messages that may condone or have the effect of encouraging unsafe actions.

“These posters add to attitudes and behaviours that make Ireland a place where the casual and everyday sexual assault of women is permitted and unchallenged,” RCNI director Fiona Neary said.

She called on the Largo Foods campaign, which cost €500,000, to be withdrawn immediately saying “it is wholly unacceptable that a corporation should not only condone these harmful attitudes but indeed use them as leverage to promote a product”.

Oh the case where the rapist was charged and convicted, and where his friends could freely show support for a convict without reprisal from the state.


Yes what a backward country.

Perhaps some ads about ending religious sexual repression would have a longer lasting effect.

In fairness from reading that article, it puts across the image that neither case was overly convincing, and that there is now a guy sitting in Prison on a five year stretch based on the evidence that a woman, who can't remember what happened, ended up down an alley way with some guy.

It could be argued that its backward that a woman crying rape is enough to get a man convicted.

Luckily the jury got to hear the full evidence and convicted him then?

The guy who changed his story about the girl he says he "found" half undressed with bruised wrists? That guy?

Perhaps the jury went on more than just the evidence of the woman?

All I know of the case is what I read in that article, and maybe the journalist is a sympathiser of the accused but he certainly seems to doubt how genuine the claims made by the victim are. If he did do it then 5 years seems to be too short a jail term for the crime, but if he didn't it really does ruin his life.

JezZCaa...X

First of all, I think the ad is a good ad. It makes a good point and is relevant to the country it is being portrayed in. People who make comments about "these women" who are treated sooo badly have probably never met a woman from an Arabic country.
Recently, I have made friends with a group of Arabic men and women in Brussels. One of the women explained to me that it is her choice to cover up. She feels that no other man need see her except her husband. I would love to have the disipline to agree with her.
The people of these countries have been brought up strictly Muslim (most of them) and follow the Quaran. This book encourages women to cover up etc. I believe everyone should be treated fairly and have a choice. For example, if a muslim woman wants to NOT wear her head scarf she shouldnt HAVE to.

With reagrd to the rape comments. Anyone who has made a joke out of it should be ashamed of yourself.

And finally. As for the hunky dorey ad... The people behind this are sad individuals who cant even think of a proper ad to sell their rotten taytos. It is pathetic. But I blame the women who appear in these ads more. Walking around with the wrong attitude. And men are so stupid they will generalize the women they see in these ads which WILL lead to an increase in rapes etc....

This whole topic just makes me so mad!!!!

What bits of the article made you think the journalist doubts the claims? I honestly can't see that in the article at all.

If he did do it then 5 years seems to be too short a jail term for the crime, but if he didn't it really does ruin his life.

It was sexual assault, not rape, so that might have made the difference in sentencing.
