Must not connect dog races and sex

Some nonsense from Australia:
"Brisbane Greyhound Racing club has defended its use of a sexual pun to promote a series of race meets featuring rugby league [football] greats Arthur Beetson and Tommy Raudonikis, the morning after NRL boss David Gallop apologised to victims of sexual abuse by players.

In a press release titled 'Tommy and Artie do it Doggie Style for Origin', Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club (BGRC) says Beetson and Raudonikis will host several dog race meets pitting Queensland against New South Wales in a series named Birth Of Origin - Doggie Style.

"I can't really see it being too damaging or inappropriate, really," Mr Millican said of the doggie-style promotion. "We've been planning this campaign for a while. "This is a greyhound racing campaign to help promote our sport and the tag line is a bit of tongue and cheek and we have used this one before for our Uni Night promotions out here."

But a spoksewoman from the Brisbane Rape and Incest Survivors Support Centre, Karin Cheyne, described the publicity stunt as "degrading".

What's rape and incest got to do with doggie sex? Just about everyone does doggies at times as far as I know.

Just goes to show that some people can be offended by ANYTHING - including harmless fun.

I don't know how the ad can be about rape and incest, but I will say it was in pretty bad taste nonetheless.

Who is sex-obsessed here?

My God, it is to the point that everyone must stay home and not move or speak because you are likely to offend someone. Businesses may as well shut down and certainly should stop all advertising.. How freaking ignorant.

After checking out the link I found this:

"On Four Corners last night, a New Zealand woman identified only as Clare said her life had been ruined and she had considered suicide after having sex with Johns and another Cronulla player while up to 10 of their teammates and club staff watched on during a tour in 2002."

---So where's the rape here? She obviously consented to the sex, but now she regrets it and suddenly it's rape?

How exactly is her life ruined? It's not like she got a tattoo or anything really disgusting like that. LOL.

If she enjoys it, it's sex. If not, it's rape.

"If she enjoys it, it's sex. If not, it's rape."And that was the reason why I never made the first move when I was dating. Too damn scared over what the girl would say.

Wouldn't help. Saying NO two days later still counts. You should have used your precognitive skills to determine she would eventually change her mind.

Only solution is to get it in writing, with two witnesses.
