I’ve been a member for years, and this is one of the best videos that you 3 have ever done, and that’s saying a lot. Steve, your description of the dance that men and women do was beautiful and real. Kudos, sir, and to you all….

Hilarious, guys…. I can only think of one value to this product. If you ACTUALLY got her to help you use it, it would make a good defense in court when she takes you before the judge on a Date rape/paternity case! Come to think of it, have your buddy help you open the package and then CLAIM she did it!!

Since I am in a generous mood, I will refer to this product as quasi-retarded. To me, the two most salient points about this product involve rape. Since the product is intended to ensure consensual sex, that seems fair.

First, this product means that the woman must consent to the male using a condom, not to sex. Sex, even rape, can easily take place without a condom. A woman facing a rapist would, in most cases, prefer that the rapist wear a condom. This product ensures that some percentage of women will be raped without one, rather than with one.

Additionally, consider the plight of a woman facing a rapist. If all she has with her is a “consent condom,” and she gets her rapist to use it, the rapist could well claim in a trial that the use of that condom proves that the sex was consensual, and not a rape at all.

Outside of making money for the Argentinian manufacturer, this product has nothing but bad consequences.

Steve: For the Dance of Seduction; The song Baby It’s Cold Outside from the movie ‘Neptune’s Daughter’ shows both sides.
Bill: You had women cursing Star Trek? Who do you think you are, KHAN!!!

Obviously this is aimed specifically at the “date rape problem,” which, of course, is a problem of definitions, not of prowling rapists.

Trying to take a quick glimpse of the video from work (after school, during TableTop Gaming), and I get a “Video Unavailable. This video is restricted. Try signing in with a Google Apps account.”

The same thing happens with the Mayor Pete gay video. But none of the others that are posted. I can see everything else.

And yes, I am logged into the site. I can see the Blog button, as well as logout.

Is this a school district blocking issue, or a YouTube restriction?

My guess is that YouTube flags it as inappropriate content for children, which most schools and libraries automatically block.

But my school account has probably been flagged for trying to access blocked videos.

I put myself on the district’s radar. Which is no big deal…just annoying as hell.

I won’t get nailed for the possible porn. I won’t get nailed for the possible homophobia.

They’ll nail my ass for being a conservative. Heh.

It’s a brilliant marketing ploy. Of course it won’t appeal to or inhibit sexual deviants of any stripe, but it *will* sell to honest young men who are afraid that they’ll be “Kavanaughed” or “#metood” later in their lives. Appealing to people’s fear of social shaming is a guaranteed way to get people to give you their money.

It’s certainly not going to stop rape. Heck, who said the rapist would decide to wear a condom? That being said, maybe it could help prevent false rape accusations if she helped open it.

Dang it Bill, the best line on this topic you had got left on the cutting room floor of the Backstage segment. You might be too big a man to use the line here but I’m not!
For non-members who missed it, the comment in question was a great idea for an ad slogan:
“The preferred condom of gang rapists!”
Personally, I’ll bet that marketing campaign would be a smash hit in European cities! =8^)
