Did Georgie Burgess rape Sharon Curley?

Serious question. Watching The Snapper and that scene has never sit right with me - especially the way it's just glossed over. Was she too drunk to give consent in the scene on the car bonnet? I know times change and what's considered acceptable by society changes over time and it may not have been controversial at the time but judging by societal attitudes today, it's very dodgy.

IIRC he offered a tenner retrospectively.

Prozzie!

Hey Furry, you know what I'd like to do with this thread? Snip Snip.

He did and he went on to create a load of hairy babies

He put his massive tool in her box

LivelineDipso · 18-12-2012 11:32PM

She said "a man" - they ****ed and he said "A-1 Sharron" while she replied. "Who the **** was that?"

She was a slut.

He was a ****head.

Roddy Doyle never had an original idea in his life.

QED

Taken advantage of, perhaps. She was walking around saying she was looking for a man, lay down on the car bonnet, seems to have some awareness that she had sex when she said "who was that?"

Interesting.

Good to see people looking at it in that light.

bad2dabone · 18-12-2012 11:33PM

I've never seen The Snapper. Is there a version dubbed into English?

kingtiger · 18-12-2012 11:33PM

I suppose a ride's out of the question?

Abi · 18-12-2012 11:36PM

SNIP SNIP BURGESS!!

Odysseus · 18-12-2012 11:37PM

Is that a baby or a turkey?

Lucas Castroman · 18-12-2012 11:38PM

The more pressing question is should she be allowed to abort Georgie Burgess's baby if it is indeed the product of rape?

Standard Toaster · 18-12-2012 11:38PM

Did ye not see me there, over by the vegetables......

DebDynamite · 18-12-2012 11:38PM

Ah no, I don't think so. She literally threw herself at him, he perhaps wasn't to know how drunk she was.

Feckin' egit should've used protection though.

Not once is it ever implied it was "rape" - but what next? Kyle Reese raped sarah conner in Terminator? as she was in shock of nearly being killed and reese "took advantage" ?

Seven pounds twelve ounces is my reference point for all baby weights.

No, not really. The most pressing question was being so drunk how did she know the father was "Spanish? Or a sailor? He could've been a Pakistani postman!"

Pales into insignificance when considered against the towering racist edifice that is The Commitments.
