Venezuela to women: "You gonna get RAPED!"
Just when you think Hugo Chávez's "Bolivarian Revolution" in Venezuela can't get any weirder, it does. Courtesy of The Devil's Excrement comes this public health billboard issued by the Chavista governor of Carabobo province. It breathlessly declares:
Inciting sex ... causes rape. Security is everyone's responsibility
Venezuela is not exactly famous for having a culture of sexual repression or modesty, so the sudden inference that wearing a bikini thong at the beach is an incitement to rape may come as a startling shock to Venezuelans. Then again, considering all the quality time Chávez has been spending with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, one supposes it was only a matter of time before Venezuela starting exhorting their beach bunnies to start covering it all up.
UPDATE: The Chavistas continue to astound. The Caracas Chronicles shows the Venezuelan government of Carabobo's latest offering, which declares that political scandals cause terrorism. This is not so much a "public service advisory" as it is a veiled threat to journalists who might be inclined to print unfriendly news about corruption inside the Chávez regime.
So remember, if you notice ostentatious political corruption in Venezuela, do NOT make a big deal out of it. Or else.

Let me know what day you are available. The interview is 25 questions based on the subject of your blog despots.
The questions are placed on my blog as a post and you respond in the comment section. We have done around thirty of them with one complainer, so far.
I do think this is the prelude to more control of the printed media.
Well I'm venezuelan and the add looks kind of akward to me... actually I can bet that when people look at it are going to check out the bodies of the pictures published with no consideration of the rape stadistics (that could be only caused by the governments real indiference to the security trouble)
