Funny stuff.. i hope it is not real

Palin Rape Kit - Welcome

This edged on seriously offensive (to me), until I read the website and realized it is more of a political statement than
anything else.

That title, whoooo-boy.

Don't see how it's funny either. Again, that's my opinion.

It's not meant to be funny, I think.

I read it as a reductio ad absurdiam attack on Palin's mayoral stance.

I'm not sure if the historic stance of then-Mayor Palin quoted is true, but if it is, that's very bad. However, the problem comes by saying that if 75% go unreported, and everyone bought a kit the saving would be X.

That's shoddy statistics. The saving would only be X/4.

It's still miserable, but i really take issue with people that screw up a great argument (in this case that Palin seems to have put money before rape victims), by overstating their case (that if this attitude was extended to estimated national statistics, and if reporting rates suddenly went to 100% the scheme would take one third of a billion dollars out of the cost of policing America.

Even if this is the heartless attitude she planned to adopt, the historic case proves the point, without the ridiculous extension.

Daniel, quite simply, it's an attack on Palin, purporting that she is an victims' rights.
My reaction is one of the gut to whenever rape is mentioned.

I agree, but can you explain the highlighted bit?

I can't fathom what you mean - like you've left a few words out.

I accidentally a fleshlight - the whole thing!

Oops! Sorry my good man. Forgot opponent. Victims' rights' opponent.

poor taste, what ever their message is, gets blurred by the medium

If Palin actually suggested charging rape victims for their rape kits, she deserves to be ridiculed.

Edit: It appears that the town of Wasila (sp?) would charge the cost of the rape kit to the victim's insurance company.

Agreed. It's a political attack, fine, but I don't think sexual assault jokes are terribly funny. It's sort of like holocaust jokes or jokes about cancer. Just not very funny.
