I know how to settle this whole rape thing.
Let's start making castration jokes. The male equivalent of being raped -- something violent and horrific and something devotedly to be avoided, but it will be a joke! It'll be funny!
We can start a trend, here on the Sift.
It would have to be worded well -- I am not clever that way.
We have lots of clever folks with words here -- can someone come up with a catch phrase that involves castration? That is funny? Oh, and it has to be clear that a woman will be doing the castrating, from a powerful position. Something Lorena Bobbitt-esque.
Once we can get on an equal playing field in terms of jokes about sexual violence, then maybe @tsquire1 and others (like, me) won't get so upset about casual references towards sexual violence towards women.
That's the real problem, isn't it? The one way street of "jokes"? Let's empower women with the funny idea that any given night, they might snap and cut off the penis of the man lying in bed next to them, sound asleep.
Then we can all laugh together.
Works for me.


I used to be able to tell rape jokes, but then someone took my balls away. I used to find rape jokes funny, but then my balls got taken away. I used to be able to laugh about castration jokes, but now I just sing soprano!

I used to find all jokes funny, but since my balls got taken away, I just sit on the internet all day telling people what's funny

14 octave range? - Hardly. In fact she didn't hit any of the high notes in the song at all.
And there is no way her voice could hit the lower octaves.
Roy Orbison had a 3-4 octave range and was considered one of the best. I have no idea where the claim she can hit14 octaves - That's absurd
Soprano: C4 – C6
Mezzo-soprano: A3 – A5
Contralto: F3 – F5
Tenor: C3 – C5
Baritone: F2 – F4
Bass: E2 – E4
When you have an octave that means that the two notes are exactly 8 notes apart, hence the "oct" part in the word. This means that the octave of D is D. You count 8 notes from the starting note. i.e.
D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D= 8 notes all together

I think a description revision might be necessary. Thanks for the input on this!

I felt the same way at first...but they one me back with the ending. I felt overall it was sift worthy...but agree the 1 min dixieland version could have been left out. From what I understand all the numbers performed by these guys are done with the idea of having fun with the piece and with a sense of humor.>> ^jqpublick:

Here are my thoughts for the first 6 minutes and three seconds of this video:
"Wow, this is actually pretty good, the band's not bad... a few flubs but not too bad, but it's a difficult piece... hey nice! soprano sax... now the band's all here, are they -- oh God, no oh shit no, nonononononono... "
So. No upvote from me, unless I can colour it hubris.

The wrench was going to play soprano, but he was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Ive always heard the saying was Money flows up, Shit trickles down... must have been the Sopranos marathon.

@LittleRed *nods* I have Tony Soprano levels of anxiety attacks. Yoga and meditation has helped a lot.

Removing her gasps is like removing swearing from the Sopranos or Pulp Fiction.
