I did a search on “Legitimate Rape”, our current Topic of Interest in the Pit and elsewhere, and noticed a new trend – songs based on the phrase. I can’t listen to these at work, but I’m fascinated. These are videos, possibly NSFW (but i wouldn’t know):

> Taylor Ferrera sings a song in reaction to Todd Akin's recent comments regarding the impossibility of pregnancy resulting from rape.
