unintentional comedy

The RSS--which has seesawed over whether Indian women are asking for it with their low-rise jeans and spaghetti straps or this whole rape thing is the fault of a bunch of twisted, sexually insecure and power-hungry bastards--came out with some strong statements on how society should deal with rape in a recent issue of the Organiser. Saying that dress codes and increased policing won't help, it calls for stiff punishments for offenders, adding that "the punishment should be eye for eye, tooth for tooth." The editorial did not venture any suggestions as to who would take on the onerous task of buggering the convicted rapists, but no doubt there are few patriotic acts beyond the valor of knickerwalla "volunteers."
