Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
jeddy, there have always been unscrupulous and dangerous women around, who loved leading men on, as I have spoken of before. There always have been and there always will be. What has happened now though, is that the behaviour of a minority has rippled right out into the behaviour of the majority and that is worrying, very worrying.


So, if women aren't 'out of control' and the men aren't either...why did the NHS launch a campaign of videos that were deemed too explicit to even be on Youtube, in their effort to get young women, and men, to stop drinking?

I mean, people in here, and on other threads, tell me that this behaviour is NOT happening, so why the hell would the NHS want to spend money on trying to get young men and women to stop doing something that so many folks say in here isn't happening in the first place?

The 'Bloody Mary' video - from the 'Cocktales' website of Derbyshire Primary Care Trust

And below is taken from here


"The hard-hitting short film, entitled Bloody Mary, features scenes of a drunk woman urinating and collapsing in the street, while being mocked by a group of men.

It was made by Derbyshire Primary Care Trust for its Cocktales campaign, which is encouraging young adults to drink sensibly this Christmas, and received more than 15,000 hits on YouTube before being removed due to "terms of use violation".

Alison Pritchard, a consultant at the NHS trust, said: "This video does have a dark humour in it, which is designed to capture the imagination and show what can happen if you overstep the mark on a night out. It has been banned from YouTube because of its content, which we realise some people may find controversial."




Yes, any person 'has a right' to behave like that, but geez, where did we go SO wrong in encouraging ANYONE to behave like that, by our apathetic, politically stupidly correct, silence???????????

Give BACK dignity to both women and men. Tell them of the dangers, tell them of the humiliation, tell them about self respect, tell them HOW IT USED TO BE and CAN BE AGAIN, but for Pity's Sake, do NOT let them carry on in this 'sod'em and we'll do it all again tomorra' way!
