Anti-rape device created
An inventor in South Africa has come up with a possible solution to end the country's unenviable reputation of being the rape capital of the world. It is estimated a woman or girl is raped every 26 seconds in South Africa.But inventor Sonette Ehlers says women will soon be able to wear a device which would attach itself to the rapist's penis by microscopic hooks as he withdraws.Ms Ehlers says the device is expected to go on sale by the end of the year."The rape device is a condom, it's shaped almost like a tampon," she said."Hollow inside and the inner wall of it is lined, and there we have got all our technology and little hooks which, upon forced penetration, will attach to the skin of the perpetrator and only a medical doctor can remove it. "He'll have to turn himself in, so he's marked for immediate identification."- BBC

Ouch! Where is the human rights commission when you need them? I can imagine a serial rapist getting caught in one of these, could not take it off so continue to rape with the semi-permanent condom in place. The serial rapist maybe angered and therefore go out to rape more women until he is turned in.

What about the altar boys? Do altar boys have to wear one in their bottom to maintain their chastity too? Does pretty young men have to wear one too. I am Chinese, who will be considered exotic in South Africa. Would I have to wear one? What if your wife is out to screw you and wear one for that "special" occasion?

Do they personalize the devices? The prosecutor will go… “Mr. Rapist Habibi, would you mind taking out your maleness and show it to our panel of 12 jury?” Turning to the jury, “My dear jurors, if you would kindly over look the foul smell from the reservoir of 3 months worth of urine, pick up the magnifying glasses provided to examine the defendant’s maleness, you will find the serial number “G,U,I,L,T,Y,0,0,0,0,5,3,1,1,4,9,1” on the device. According to our sales records – exhibit A, Ms. Victim Chastity is the registered owner of this device.” “Nevermind the fact that my Habibi has petitioned for divorce from Ms. Chastity due to her constant extra-marital affairs and regular poisoning of his dinner, breakfast and toothpaste, he raped Ms, Chastity” Yadiyadayada… hohum, you know the drill.

What good is the after the fact device? Would an experienced bear not check the tree trunk for bees before cracking up the tree-trunk to retrieve the honey? These devices are meant to nap careless and stupid criminals. The device can only be activated after the fact. What good is it to the victim that the violator is prosecuted? They should be looking for devices to prevent the rape, not tag the rapists. Bring back the chastity belt.
