Scene Point Blank is running a countdown to Fest 10.

We just ran interviews talking about #s 1-3 with Tony, Grabass Charlestons, and Circle Takes the Square.

Oh wow, that made me even more excited for Fest. As if it's possible for me to be more excited.

But one sidenote to Tony- I'm pretty sure if you asked a rape victim about her experience she would not liken it to having to pay $6 for a bottle of water. I really wish guys would take a minute to think about what sexual assault is and stop using it to complain about things like getting shot in the back during Halo.

Is this going to be updated?

Just to put it out there. The word rape can also mean:
an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

Some words have multiple definitions. It doesn't just refer to forced sexual intercourse. I think he was using the word meaning the above definition. Could a better word have been used in that context? Probably. But I don't think he meant it the way you took it.

BUUUUURN!!! another word with multiple meanings lol

this ^^^ hahaha

I appreciate what you're saying. But it is inconsiderate and offensive when people use that word casually. As if overcharging for water was as reprehensible as a man grabbing me in a parking garage and forcing himself on me.

I make all your dreams come true:
