10-minute-long rape scenes are inappropriate workplace viewing.

I re-listened with that in mind and what she says is “Laissez moi” (whatever the conjugation is) “Aiuto!” and “Sil vous plait”. I didn’t hear her say anything else. “Aiuto” is the only Italian.

I probably should have left it alone because that wasn’t a particularly nice thing to watch, but I study Italian and I wanted to be sure I understood what she said. Yech!

Your French is better than mine. I can’t bear to watch it; I keep seeing my wife or one of my nieces.

Dude! Thats messed up!

OK, I love that story. Wasn’t it Eddie Murphy who did a bit about how once you figure out how to make a woman have a great orgasm, you can get away with anything?

“wasn’t me”
“I looked right in your face!”
“wasn’t me”
“welllll…maybe it wasn’t you…”

Okay, but, what about a nine-minute-long rape scene? Is that appropriate workplace viewing?

According to the 2005 Stockholm Convention on Appropriate Workplace Viewing, the cutoff is actually at 3:25, so this one is well over the limit.

ETA: That’s assuming the modifier of “stated intent to make the victim ugly”, which seems to be in play here.

At my last job, just surfing the web, on break or not, was a firing offense. YMMV.

Captain Nitwit’s job requires that he be able to go online, so that he may look at customer or potential customer’s websites in preparation for a call or during a call. I’m told that, before I started here, they tried web-blockers and found that it inhibited everyone’s work more than was worthwhile.

It’s messed up that I possess the ability to feel empathy?
