The Lynx ads screening before it and in between every commercial break makes me think it's being marketed as a dude show for dudes. And a previous ad made it look like one of the guys was with an unconcious woman or something....So I was already a wee bit concerned about that. But since Outrageous Fortune is to me the greatest thing ever in the whole world I'll still probably watch another episode. And give it another chance.
The whole 'is it date rape' thing about the poetry God is interesting....well it will be interesting to see how they cover that.

What a beautiful, stunning tribute. I'm crying at work and sending love your way.

YAY! So great to see you blogging Craig. I'm another squeeing fan girl leaping around in your corner.
I haven't ever seen Star Wars. It just never happened. I know, maybe that is a tiny bit weird.

*rolls eyes* yeah you're such a victim Christiaan. Jeez. You come on here and de-rail the shit out of Craig's post and then get all worked up because you got called on it. FFS indeed.
-
Why am I not surprised that you're offended. Sigh.

Christiaan - it might help you to read this link to see why this is a sensitive topic to people http://tinyurl.com/24h8nlx

"They clearly see themselves as bastions of feminism" - Really? Gosh you've got an active imagination Christiaan. I'm always surprised when people troll for a reaction then get all emotional when they get the exact reaction they were seeking.

"Spare me your cheap semantics" - Pretty hypocritical there Christiaan!
"Have you stopped to think for a minute that these charges might be true AND that the U.S. (and other powers) might seek to take advantage of them for political purposes?" - yep, numerous times. And I managed to do that without accusing people of calling Assange a rapist. Or implying the charges were false. You should try it.

Christiaan - again, I said allegedly. Allegedly you hold those views. So what's your problem?
This started from you saying that Craig implied Assange is a rapist when he didn't. And that you feel these women must be called 'alleged' victims at every instance. You say he isn't getting a fair trial and claim the "U.S. blathers about indicting him so they can kidnap and torture him" - and then claim you're not into into conspiracy theories and the charges are 'conincidental'. Come on, read what you've written and own it. There was no 'slip' you just latched on to the idea that someone was saying Assange is guilty when they said no such thing.
And why should I care what Naomi Klein thinks about this? By the same token you can support WikiLeaks and not imply these women are lying. Which was pretty much the entire point of Craig's post. Maybe you should listen to it again? In your rush to claim Assange is about to be kidnapped by James Bond villians you haven't even bothered to take in what this post is about. The wider consequences of questioning alleged rape victims without proof and putting them on trial on the net.

Also - what's your problem? I said allegedly.
