Did you mention Harvard/Harvard and that I'm 6-11? That shit should have done it. Wait. Did you use spell check?

This seems more marginalizing/belittling than "You're fired!" Like being shunned in an Amish community.

I suppose. Perhaps the Stewart vehicle will incorporate a walk of shame for losing contestants, where as they exit they are pelted by the remaining players with handmade macrame beads.

Your prole roots are showing. Among Martha's circle, "You just don't fit in" is akin to telling someone that you can no longer bear the sight of their hunchback. The only crueler dismissal would be "You're just not our kind, dear."

That was a rather cruel aside there Taxwonk. And I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that Fringey did have her hunchback surgically fixed in Spring 2016. Nowadays you can really only tell anything is wrong when a thunderstorm comes in.

edit: thank you nfh. I think it may be time for reading glasses!

KLEINMOND, South Africa - A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attacker’s penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.

“Nothing has ever been done to help a woman so that she does not get raped and I thought it was high time,” Sonette Ehlers, 57, said of the "rapex," a device worn like a tampon that has sparked controversy in a country used to daily reports of violent crime.

Police statistics show more than 50,000 rapes are reported every year, while experts say the real figure could be four times that as they say most rapes of acquaintances or children are never reported.

Ehlers said the “rapex” hooks onto the rapist’s skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.

“He will obviously be too pre-occupied at this stage,” Ehlers told reporters in Kleinmond, a small village about 60 miles east of Cape Town. “I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital.”

The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.

Ehlers, who showed off a prototype on Wednesday, said women had tried it for comfort and it had been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man.

Right. Not many volunteers for that I suppose. I also assume it may increase the likelihood of another kind of rape.

Exactly. How hard is that?

I hand-wrote it in purple crayon so it would stick out among the others.

Well, unless she lives to be 150, having the hump removed at the ripe old age of 140 just doesn't seem to be worth it.

Since my penis melted and I've lost all my internet girlfriends, I've been feeling particularly cruel. At least the clown still loves me. (Hi Balt!)

And rapists regularly wait for their victims to put in their female condom?

Man-trapping vagina, indeed, though.

How is it that you can tell?

An uncircumcised one looks like the one on classical statues (those heathens). Come to think of it, that's a mistake on David, then isn't it?

Vagina dentata, yes.

I think you are supposed to put it in before you go out and just leave it in there.

Won't that make it more likely guys won't try and pick up drunk, and potentially forgetful, girls?

Again, overheardinnewyork.com is prescient:

Hipster chick #1: ...So I was giving this guy a handjob and he wasn't circumcised...it was so bizarre looking.
Hipster chick #2: I know, isn't it so weird? I'm all like, "What am I supposed to do with that thing at the top? Touch it, play with it, leave it alone?"

Always, or just for those outings to the Date Rape Pub?

ETA: one has to love those wacky south africans' overly aggressive approach to all crimes.
