When the Internet Can’t Help With Your Sex Problems « Crushable

LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 25:  In this photo ill...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
Just when I thought that the world could not just be any screwed up, I find out that I was wrong. Another clues came with the following article.


Sure, if you have a question regarding “how are babbys formed,” definitely go to Yahoo answers. And if you think that swallowing after a blowjob will make you pregnant, then let the guys on Reddit set you straight. But there are real life scenarios where you should probably consult a professional instead of the anononymity of the ‘net for your sexual queries.
Case in point: The young girl from St. Paul, Minnesota who awoke in her house with her mother’s boyfriend standing over her naked. After escaping his attempts at molestation, the girl locked her door, put a dresser in front of it, and…went on Facebook to look for help? Now, this isn’t a judgment of the young girl who was obviously frightened and went to a source of community where she obviously felt comfortable, but we as a society might want to take a good hard look at ourselves if we can’t even remember to teach kids how to dial 9-1-1 on their iPhones before logging on to a social networking site to report a rape. Luckily, the girl was able to get in contact with her mother (who was away for the evening) and the two of them called the police.
Now again, this story has a positive ending, but the message here isn’t “Facebook saves girl from getting raped,” as the ABC news WCCO affiliate poses. It should be “Don’t leave your daughter home alone with your pedo ex-boyfriend, then not be available by cell phone for the rest of the night.” Jesus, people.

Comic Books Illustrating History


I came across this article from Comics Alliance and it shows that comics can be educational and historical. I know of George Wallace from American History. There is a comic book that was printed in 1960 that is a propaganda piece for his bid to become governor of Alabama. Yes it's propaganda, but it does show the power of comic books. You can find it at this link.

The article also mention that there was a comic book with the Montgomery Bus Strike lead by Dr Martin Luther King Jr. It references an article that gives more information.. I own this comic somewhere, I remember holding it in my hands. You can read the comic online here.
