sasha_feather: Legend of Korra promo  (Korra)

My Christmas gift from my brother and SIL was a daily calendar from the Onion fake newspaper. Now, normally I like the Onion, and to be fair, my brother couldn't have known what was inside.

The first page, Jan 1/2, was a rape joke. @TBoneJenkins on Twitter suggested I throw the calendar away.

What do you think?

"And it smelled of burning; but it was the burning of unclean things"


Not that I like the source, but the quote seemed very appropriate. :)

I think it's from the Bible, although I haven't actually checked. I hear my Christian acquaintances quote it.

I like your image.

Oh great, someone gave my boyfriend's brother one. DX There might be another fire over here.

I would be inclined to write them an angry letter on the back of the rape joke and mail it back to them, along with the rest of the calendar, requesting a refund.

Rage is more fun when it's shared!

While less cathartic than burning, I like this idea.

Tear off page 1?

Write a letter to the Onion and complain?

IDK...

I'd ... recycle it. But burning is good too.
