Zombie Documents the SF "Slutwalk"

A lot of signs informing me that just because a girl dresses like a bit of trollop doesn't give me the right to rape her.

This is an odd bit of provocation: They're announcing something that's obviously true, and which I agree with. But they're shouting it a me and behaving as if this is a live debate, and we (collectively) disagree with them.

Who disagrees with this? Well, rapists, yes, I suppose. But murderers also disagree with hypothetical signs that might say "My Insurance Policy and/or Blackmail Plot Against You Does Not Give You The Right To Murder Me." This doesn't really make it a "political" issue, though.

Was "Columbo" a political show? I never got that vibe.

So, here are the pictures, and as usual, it's... well, it's like closing time at the bar, when the lights come up. There's some material here to work with, if you're really determined.

I love all the dudes showing up at these. "Solidarity." Uh-huh.

I don't know. There's a level of emotional and physical exhibition going on here that seems part of the I'M A SUPERSTAR syndrome plaguing us.

Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated story, Joe Walsh wrecks Sandra Fluke's sh*t and stuff.
