Complete with laugh track and joking commentary by Tosh, the video shows a teenage boy falling victim to a prank that turns into what could be considered forced and unwanted sexual contact–otherwise known as sexual assault.

Today in things that show people are disgustingly stupid, the Oreo Facebook page posted this image last night (which helpfully notes that it was made with creme colors that don’t actually exist). That’s not the stupid part. People who a) apparently like a certain type of cookie enough to find their Facebook page and share their enjoyment of said cookies with all their friends and b) are dumb, began inundating the page with family-friendly messages, including such gems as “i’ll stick to black n white. fuck gay oreos,” and “Gays can all go kill themselves they are sinners and will burn in hell.” Buzzfeed has a collection of these messages if you need a self-esteem boost.

While these charges are still thrown about today, you probably are not likely to hear or see this: “We respect anyone who respects us.” Continue reading
I’ve had enough of someone else’s propaganda. I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole. Continue reading
