Thank you.

Really.

“It wasn’t rape-rape.”
-Whoopi Goldberg T-Mobile spokeswoman and co-host of The View

Dear T-Mobile

Have you no shame?
Are you seriously still running those t.v. ads with Whoopi “it wasn’t rape-rape” Goldberg?
And she is the first person we see when going to your website.
You may want to rethink your marketing on this one.

Not attached to Verizon and was a potential customer.

P.S. Way to stay unaccountable – your company website has no straightforward way (this is the internet age after all) to contact you in email. Had to scour to even find this edress – mediarelations@t-mobile.com – buried in your fine print links.

Didn’t she also give a pass to that sports guy for the dog fighting because it’s “cultural?”

I am not in favor of prison rape. I am even less in favor of a 40+ year-old man drugging a 13-year-old and getting her drunk, then ignoring her pleas to be taken home, ignoring her when she said “no” to every sex act he proposed, doing these sex acts anyway, telling her not to tell her mother, then using his money and power to flee and keep his sorry ass safe for decades.

If he had served his term like a man in the 70′s, I would not have this opinion. Sorry, he deserves castration, but he’ll probably live out his life without ever paying society for his heinous deed. That is why I would be indifferent to Polanski being victimized by people bigger and stronger than he. He might learn something, like contrition.

Thank you for maintaining your civilized attitude while working at a prison, and keeping the world a safer place for the likes of me.

If you think rape in prison is a good thing, you are not worth having in civilized society. You really belong with the misfits, the idiots who cannot control their anger, the morons who cannot have empathy for basic human rights and dignity, at least as far as other people are concerned. In other words, you belong in prison.

I work at one. And I can only hope that if you or anyone you love is ever there, that there will be someone who will help if victimization occurs. I hope that a full hearing of the evidence is made. And I hope that the perpetrators of any crimes get punished.

Most of the people in prison deserve punishments that we who work there are too civilized to give them. Most of the people are not deserving of even the basic services of healthcare, food, lodging, and court access that is provided to them. Many of them are not interested in anything more than getting out and making new crimes to add to their life sentences on the installment plan. But we still try to make them see the value of hard work and clean living, rather than teach them that power is all that matters. I’m proud of what I do, since I’m trying to make the world a better place. A safer place even for people like you.

Almost all inmates are eventually released

Jon’s discovered that almost all inmates are serving sentences other than death, and regards this as something for other people to think about.

With that gesture, Polanski made it clear that he is still willing to abide by our justice system only when it will do his bidding, but he will not submit to decisions he doesn’t like.

The prosecutors responded, in effect, “fuck me? no, fuck you!”

Actually, I was not joking.

If you think it’s just or right for Polanski to get raped, you are not much better than he is. No one deserves such treatment, and that our society wants inmates to be raped only makes our country worse. Almost all inmates are eventually released, so think about that.

I can assume also that you were joking, but it really isn’t funny anyhow. Rape is an awful crime whether it’s men in prison, women in college, old women in their homes, refugees in Africa, illegal immigrants in a Phoenix drop house, children in their own beds, or thirteen-year-olds at Hollywood parties.

As a bonus, his punishment is likely to fit the crime.

This is almost enough to make me believe in karma.

“It’s not RAPE rape. My god people, he bought her champagne! And freaking QUALUDES!!! That’s like, the ultimate dream date in 1977.

He just showed her how much he dug her! Because you gotta show the love if you want the love. And he showed it. That’s not rape.

You would not belive how many ludes I had to give Ted Danson before he let me go down on him! ”

Hardly. Though if they worked really, really hard for a couple of decades….

Notable additions: Isabelle Adjani [SCHWING!], Harrison Ford, Jeremy Irons, Natalie Portman, Steven Soderbergh, Buck Henry. I’m amazed at the number of women. And how many of these people have daughters? Question for Whoopi: if this had happened to your daughter, would it have been ‘rape-rape’?

Scanning through that, seems a preponderance of French names. But also Terry Gilliam.

No, it means if you ever see a couple thugs about to rape Jewel and Monica Bellucci, you help Jewel first.

And does this mean I have to go buy Jewel’s poetry book?
