The Australian Big Brother Sexual Assault Scandal

Wel, in the interests of research, i just viewed the offending video on the internet. When i first read the OP, i thought that sexual assault might be the appropriate term to describe the incident, but having viewed the video i believe that it was all completely harmless fun.

The two guys are in the same bed, and they call the woman over and tell her to lie down between thewm and shut her eyes. She’s suspicious from the start, thinking that they’re going to fart on her, but she’s also going along with the whole thing.

Then she says, “You’re not going to turkey slap me are you?”

The guys say that they’re not, and she says “You are, you liars. Let me in,” and proceeds to get under the covers and lie down between them, giggling the whole time.

After it happened, everyone in the room was laughing and making jokes about it.

If you want to look at the video, go to YouTube and put in the following search terms:

Remember when Dacid got kicked out of the house on the Real World Los Angeles for pulling the blanket off one of the girls revealing that she was in a bra nad panties?

The good old days…

Big Brother in other countries always sounds f-ed up.

Fercrying outloud, no one held her down, and as mhendo pointed out, she had an inkling of what was going to happen and if you view the video, you’ll see it was no big thing. Pun intended.
Calling it a “violent sex crime” is pure Dworkinism. You really should view the clip in question and not rely on inflammatory “news” reports.

It’s been taken off youtube, but it is still hosted online (zippyvideos). They call it a “turkey slap.” Silly buggers.

Amen.

Once again the SDMB lives up to its credo.
Now I know what a ‘turkey slap’ is. :eek:

I just watched it on YouTube, so it’s still there. I used mhendo’s search terms. She was laughing and going along with it the whole time and afterwards, she stayed in bed between the two guys laughing about it.

Sorry, no crime here.

:rolleyes: Oh, good grief. I can’t believe anyone can purposely slap his member hard enough against someone else to leave a mark! Wouldn’t it be extremely painful for both parties? It sounds to me like one of those stoopid porno fantasies embraced by guys who couldn’t hope to get hard enough - let alone close enough to a real girl - to inflict such damage. If anyone ever tries that with me, he’ll get punched in the 'nads so hard he won’t walk upright for a week.

As for the video. Meh. Stupid people doing stupid things. That’s why I don’t watch these types of shows. Rather than kick the guys out of the house, they should leave them there with the other losers, lock the door, cut off the food supply, shut off the cameras and let them rot. Sounds like a sure way to send the average I.Q. of the Australian populace up by a few points.

Indeed! I am called to a higher standard of decency and morality. I read the Straight Dope.

The thing that bothered me was that this term ‘turkey slap’ is in common parlence. It was the first I had heard the term. Apart from this thread, I hope to never hear it again.
