[Lady Freedom Returns]

This is the worst campaign against teen drinking I ever saw! This thing blames the victims!!!! see http://feministing.com/2011/12/07/pa-liquor-control-board-to-teens-rape-is-your-fault-and-your-friends-fault/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter to see what I am talking about!

I know I am e-mailing a complaint!

2. Hey, rapist can't help it if girls get drunk, right? Or travel alone....

... or all the other asshat reasons someone is vulnerable.


The message of the ad seems to be that anyone vulnerable is fair game. Wrong.

4. You know that not every guy is a rapist right? The difference is that rapists believe that every

guy is a rapist. So does the creators of this ad. Sad comment on the state of PA.

17. I have no idea what rapists think, but agree the ad is disgusting....

... I'm kinda doubtful they think all men are rapists. If that were true, it seems they would be more open about it and I've never heard anyone admit to being a rapist.


I suspect a lot of them know it's wrong and that most men are not rapists, but again, I don't know what they think.

22. They will admit it if you don't call it rape.

I think many rapists don't consider themselves rapists. And I wouldn't be surprised if they thought this was normal behavior that most if not all men engage in.

3. That is seriously fucked up

I don't even know what to say... Fucked up.

5. My thoughts exactly!

Thank You!

6. "This isn't Anne's fault. The man raping her is a pig and a criminal."

But Anne was too drunk to make clear decisions and went home with him anyway. Now, half passed out, she's being forced to have sex, and she's powerless to stop it."


I don't think this is blaming the victim. i think it's warning kids that there are people out there who aren't nice.

7. Oh my god.

:puke:

8. Not only does it blame the victim, it makes a rape victim look really, really sexy. It also tells

rapists that if she's drunk, it's hard to prove rape. It's a total mistake all the way around.

10. Thank You!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

9. Assholes!!!

:grr:

[Lady Freedom Returns]

11. Thank You!

That is some of the words I was thinking!:mad:

12. It goes further than that, it blames the victim's friends, too.

"Calling the shots starts with you. What if you didn’t watch out for your friends during a night of drinking?"

It's disgusting, but hardly surprising. This is the culture we all live in. Well, it's possible that it's not this way in one of the Scandinavian countries. They're much more progressive on women's issues.

13. I feel sorry for the victims that have seen this Ad!

Bad enough that this has happened to them, now there is an Ad campaign telling them it's there fault! And how about the friends that was with a victim? Don't you think they feel bad enough as well?

[redqueen]

15. I haven't seen the picture, only read the text.

Reading the descriptions others have posted about the picture make me think even less of the people who came up with this ad.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. It turned my stomach!

:puke:

[redqueen]

19. My first thought was that I was surprised that anyone

could think using a graphic like the one described for this ad was a good idea.

I guess that shows how un-cynical I really am, because it isn't really surprising at all.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

18. I could post it but it is just to sick to me.

20. Maybe you could post a link to it...

for anyone curious about just how bad this ad really is.

14. did Jerry Sandusky write that ad?

21. Looks like they took the rape one off their facebook fan page. (Pic posted below)

You should see the comments on the FB page.
