As pointed out by [livejournal.com profile] drjon.
U.S.E Not Rape.

And for whoever came up with the acronym;

We have concluded that the acronym U.S.E (Unplanned Sanitary Event) when used regularly to replace "She jammed my head into the toilet and flushed", will remove the stigma associated with this sometimes unpleasant situation. It is our mission to ensure the cleanliness of public toilets in accordance with the Department of Health's plan and eliminate the excuses given by many men when a toilet brush just isn't convenient.

Remember, you haven't been flushed, you've be USEd.


I suppose that's childish, but I mean... USE?

I'm fairly sure it's a parody, possibly by the same people as the Landover Baptist Church.

I hope so.
What with the trend to embrace your own parody and assorted real religious stupidity from the US it's getting very hard to tell.

I wish I could say the same, but as I said below, to me it reeks greatly of authenticity, not verisimilitude.

Yeah, I already got annoyed at that, although not on LJ.
And before that there was the Scottish case where apparently it's not rape if the victim was too drunk to remember it clearly.

As I just had pointed out (repeatedly) to me when I posted the link on Outpost Gallifrey, it's a "satire" site and *is* done by the Landover people.

So I get to look like a complete tit for believing it...

I am curious: I wonder on what basis these titsayers were so quick to premature certitude... is there something on the USE people's site which connects them to Landover? I wasn't able to find anything.

I'd love it to be a parody, but it reeks greatly of authenticity, not verisimilitude...
