Wasn't that the plot of an Australian Pepsi advertisement on television a while back? Some guy chatting to this girl on the beach, then suddenly there's a commotion out in the water as someone's being attacked by a giant squid or something.
He apologizes to her, then runs off, dives into the water and rescues them. She is suitably impressed as he carries them off to receive medical attention.
Then the scene jumps to show the protagonist, the victim and a guy in a sea monster costume sharing a drink of Pepsi and laughing at a job well done. Sounds like a plan!

pretty sure it was a VB or XXXX (BEER) ad...

Nope, it's Pepsi. I seem to remember a critique of it somewhere on these forums decrying the idea of tricking people into liking you.

ah youth, check your local hardware stores. You should be able to buy some ether, that always did the trick for me.

date rape is bad

Ether is real? I need to restore my mana!!!

Also, why would you replenish her mana if you wanted to rape her? _{wouldn't it be easier if she was at low mana? All females are mages anyway.}

So are rape jokes.

Your point?

What part of "It's horrible to joke about ruining someone's life" don't you understand?

Someone's a bit sensitive. Are you new to the internet or something?

Walk up and say "hey can we talk?" and nod to an area away from everyone else.

Honestly, people act like these situations are difficult and complex when really the only difficult and complex thing about it is that they are making it more difficult and complex than it is.

This is true, the interwebs are just like that.

Indeed. The entire internet is a joke about ruining someone's life in one way or another. If you're going to get offended at every single comment about something horrible, you may as well just give up on the internet because you will spend your entire day offended.

I appreciate your concern, but that's a decision I'd like to keep to myself.

No, I just won a year's supply of energy drink and I'm going to take advantage of that.

This is true, the interwebs are just like that.

That doesn't make it any less wrong, that just means there are a lot of people doin' it wrong.

Welp, I guess you should report him or something for making a joke you don't agree with.

[Virex]

Welp, I guess you should report him or something for making a joke you don't agree with.

I could, but silencing someone usually doesn't help in convincing her that she should stop acting a certain way


Anyway, I'm curious as to why you so vehemently defend him. I'm not even asking him to stop making said joke, I'm just pointing out it's not good form to joke about rape. Is it really so offensive to you that the world would be better off if people would stop making this kind of joke?

Actually, it seems that if you tell someone that something they did just isn't right, chances are that you will get everybody mad at you.

Hmm, that would explain people's reaction. But should people react in such a way? Right now, people are acting as if pointing out that a rape joke is distasteful is worse than the joke itself...

Well, it is actually better just to "Deal with it!", as it always ends with a flamewar. No offense, of course.

I am not defending his action, I am attacking your notion that what you perceive as the 'correct' behavior is the only course of action people should take. You've decided that everyone else in the world is wrong and you are right. Must be a nice little world you live in.

Regardless, I don't personally have any stake in this. If you want to be delusional and he wants to be offensive, I'm okay with both of these things.
