Slog - Comments on Happy Friday! Don't get raped! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/happy_friday_dont_get_raped Do you always find yourself tongue-tied when rapists are around? Me too! Annoying. Luckily, while waiting for a friend to finish urinating at a scenic I-90 rest stop, I overheard a vanload of pre-teen girls chant the following ditty: No! Don't touch me there! That is my no-no square! I ain't got no action there! R - A - P - E Rape! Get away from me! Because nothing deters a rapist like a darling mnemonic device. Keep this one handy, ladies! Your no-no square will thank you! (Seriously. That really fucking happened to me.)...

Who else is gonna teach a group of girls a sassy little ditty about violation of their "no-no square"s?

In other news, this chant is going to be on endless loop in my mind for days. Thanks!

Aren't cheers usually performed by young girls in short skirts shaking pompoms, and end with someone doing the splits?

They might as well wear t-shirts that say IF YOU'RE A RAPIST, DON'T LOOK AT THESE!

It doesn't contain a mechanism, even a rhyme, to remember how to spell or say the word "rape".

Apparently Bob and David are working on a possible sit-com for HBO though. That might actually be worth ordering cable for.

It included the boobz.

@16: Maybe some people need a short verse to remember whether or not raped is something they want to be.

Well then, wouldn't that be a triangle?

Stop! Don't touch me there.
This is my private square.
R-A-P-E!
Get your hands away from me!

I think I may have to begin employing the phrase "no-no square" into my daily life.

But I'd rather that public money went to teaching them distancing techniques, crotch kicks, and eye gouges.
