Hilarious, no?

[Lilka]

Ah yes, what a great gift and surprise. Where can I buy some? Hilarious. And actually makes sense....

[msrisotto]

Gosh, I can't believe i forgot to laugh at that classic.

[tharsheblows]

My first thought was knock her out because she's annoying, not rape. Still, not a good idea to chloroform anyone for any reason, I suppose.

[Smellslikecatspee]

That is foul.

[MerryLindor]

Blimey. Who thought that one up?

[TheDoctrineOfSnatch]

But why? "Necklace or chewing gum", for example, would have made the "some surprises are good, some bad" point just fine, without the VAW message.

Twats.

If you click day 2 there's a photo of Santa doing 'thumbs up'

And the caption

"See you when you sleep ladies."

[MerryLindor]

How can they say they've been hacked?

I am very cynical. They KNOW that these kind of things will go viral. They are using it, and using us to get free publicity.

[PretzelTime]

I'm not going to click the link and give them traffic. The thing with Santa sounds like a threat campaign against women not an ad campaign. Who do they want to sell to - rapists? That's an odd target group.

[samandi]

I don't get it.

[RiaUnderTheMistletoe]

It seems to have gone now.

I'm trying to think of a non super creepy use for chloroform now SGM, Maybe I am just a dumb feminist

[samandi]

I'm not a dumb feminist. Chloroform used to be used as an anesthetic during operations and childbirth. Are they the other uses to which these men are referring?

[DoingitOnTheRoofTopWithSanta]

No, I understood your post fine. I was agreeing with you/ being ironic.

I read Samandi that way as well.
