RAPE TALK


12.23.08



happy hoe-lidays from knuckles deep! we took a long break there and we apologize from the cockles of our hearts.

for this special and possibly most offensive entry yet, i asked art director, aislinn b. palmer, to take on the task of our holiday entry. behold............RAPE TALK!

If an alien race were to study humans by following Dana around for a day, they would think that the words "jew," "anal," "rape," "cunt," and "abortion" were anchors of the English language. This is why it should come as no surprise that yesterday, during our snow-day shopping spree, the conversation turned to an intensive discussion of which would be worse: getting raped or losing a finger. The question was posed in the cafĂ© inside of Macy’s, at a small table overlooking the perfume department, and may or may not have been overheard by a teenage girl eating with her mother.
I maintained that I’d rather be GHB-raped than lose any finger (I wouldn’t remember it, just feel dirty and violated), but I’d rather lose a pinky finger than be violently, consciously raped, because that would probably cause flashbacks and stuff. If it was a question of losing a more important finger, like an index finger, that is a harder choice.
Dana claimed that any type of rape was better than losing any finger, or toe, because her hands and feet are so pretty. And the loss of any finger might compromise her accordion skills.
The world is better off for this conversation having taken place. Happy Holidays.
