I'm sure there's _some_ truth to his hypothesis -- consent is easier to establish when there is language.
But clearly consent _can_ be established without language.
Also, don't go all "myth of the noble savage" on us and think that the animal kingdom isn't full of rape. Ducks are so rapey that that it has significantly impacted their reproductive structures:

Yeah, ducks are lothesome rapists of the worst kind. But the genital arms race they've gotten into is interesting because it's completely abnormal. What is generally adaptive is for females to choose their mates. For each rapey duck there are a thousand other species of birds where males compete to be chosen by being more attractive, strong, or useful than their rivals.

Interesting hypothesises, but there are one or two other species who can't talk, yet who manage to propagate their genes and while I have not studied them at length, I don't believe it's really a case of forcing the female.

Actually, the hypothesis is total bunk: in most (if not all) mammal species, the female chooses the male she will mate with (hence the males evolving fighting and/or show-off attributes).
That being said, I chuckled at the explanation of short-haired lesbians.

Indeed. Perhaps I should have used the sarcasm option, since what I meant was that there's thousands of species that manage to communicate well enough without rape and that his hypothesises is nonsense.


Oops, my misunderstanding then

Yeah I'm pretty sure he wasn't executing this as a rational theory, or he probably wouldn't have mentioned pterodactyl juice, hehe. Again the lesbian/short hair thing cracked me up also

I *love* reginald d hunter. On panel shows and stuff, he's pretty much my favourite. Even the best panel show comedians love him. Check out mitchell and lee mack when they have him on would i lie to you. They laugh their heads off at him.

>> ^jmzero:

Can I promote? I know siftbot has told me I have power pellets and what not on a few occasions, so I'm hoping that works - because this is funny stuff.


Awww that's nice of you mate, but no, not until you've reached 100 stars. You can however give it a quality I believe

>> ^xxovercastxx:

I couldn't make out what the drunk English guy said as they walked past. "Black..." something?


He says "black bastard".

We use that one in Ireland about anyone who lives in the west. Or if you happen to live in the town in the west about the people in the countryside around you. Eg in secondary school we had a way of singing ♪You're all sheepshagging b*stards, sheepshagging ba-a-stards...♪ at gaelic football matches with the country teams >> ^alien_concept:

For some reason, it's an old running joke that the Welsh shag sheep. It's all we've really got on them, cos really they're good people
And, hey eric!

The joke about Wales went right over my head. I'm guessing that's a strictly English thing. Someone explain it to me.

Reginald D. Hunter a US comedian residing in the UK. I feel I can answer because I just saw him at the Melbourne Comedy Festival not 3 days ago. >> ^SaNdMaN:

There are lots of sheep in Wales. The men are all choir boys. The woman are short and hairy. You do the math.

They should get Reginald D. Hunter on there!

And I love Bill's face at 1:53 after Stephen says something about pulling up his nipples.
