Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because it struck me as, unfortunately, all too commonplace.

Aargh. Sadly, I can believe in men raping women like that. Naively, however, I can't properly believe in them thinking it's okay to talk (nay, brag) about it in front of strangers that way. Jesus.

The only video I want to see is some Chicago detective interrogating that asshole to get a rape conviction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Depressing and disgusting, but not surprising.

I mean, I can see it to his friends, but to random people? That's the part that I just don't want to believe.
