Strange that you would hang around to read an article on a "shithole" site. I imagine you are one of the douches in the forum I was referring to. It sure took you guys a long time to locate "I Like My Boobies."
I was waiting and waiting and waiting.

That site(cracked) is actually funny, I curse the link that brought me here. Also it seems funny that the front page of this shithole prominently featured 3 sets of "titties".

Thanks for reading Gerald. I don't know the Kathy Sierra situation but I will look it up.

Sad that the internet provides a platform for this faceless pack mentality – to be honest, you're facing a wall of pure ignorance and that's hard to fight. Do you remember the Kathy Sierra situation that played out on the blogosphere a couple of years ago? This has so many of the same hallmarks – but not nearly so violent.

All the same, your friend is wrong to just accept it. There are ways to make your feelings known without being preachy or high-handed about. Which wouldn't win you any points with these folk.

So did she show them or not? If so, can you provide a link?

Well said. On the internet or in real life, I don't believe that any female will earn respect from men by 'rolling along' with comments such as those mentioned. When dealing with males such as those, a woman will not earn respect if she doesn't demand it IMO.

Calling someone a 'whore' CAN be funny, within the right context. If an insult like 'whore' is used as an insult or put down, then this is the lowest form of attempted wit. Same goes for 'show me your titties' – schoolboy humour. To have any more specific comment on your incident would require you to publish your history.

Having said that, now that we are discussing comedy and insults – if you ARE a whore, and have lovely titties, then my phone number is….. ;o) (all about context)
