Tech Hit the B-Word
Posted by The Stranger Testing Department on Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 4:26 PM
The Danes are at it again. Check out Hit the Bitch, a domestic violence education site, but be warned that it will make you a terrible person. As far as I can tell, it isn't a viral site trying to sell wireless pancakes or whatever, but a serious attempt to show potential and actual abusers the error of their ways. I think the actual message is something like "When you hit your special lady, there's an annoying lag before her bruises show up, and then you need to keep hitting her to find out what happens next." Spoiler alert: She falls down sobbing and the internet calls you an idiot, then scolds you in Danish. No screenshot = no PTSD triggering!
The folks behind it claim to be a Danish NGO (that's socialist for "nonprofit") that published a children's book titled It Hurts When Dad Beats Mum.
Thanks to Slog Tipper Mary!
