Boner Candidate #1: COULDN’T YOU KEEP YOUR KNEES TOGETHER EH?
The Canadian Judicial Council is reviewing the conduct of a Federal Court judge who questioned the efforts of a sexual assault complainant to fend off her attacker. The council announced Monday it will review the behaviour of Robin Camp during a 2014 case he adjudicated while serving as an Alberta Provincial Court judge. The case involved the alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman by a Calgary man, whom she accused of sexually assaulting her over a bathroom sink during a house party. The review comes after a complaint from four law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary who described Camp as “dismissive, if not contemptuous” toward sexual assault laws and the rules of evidence. In the 11-page complaint, Elaine Craig, Jocelyn Downie, Jennifer Koshan and Alice Woolley said that in the 2014 case, Camp asked the complainant, “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” and, “Why didn’t you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn’t penetrate you?”
Boner Candidate #2: HOW DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN?
Oh hey, Christmas is here. First Starbucks forgot that Jesus is the reason for the season and now Bloomingdale’s is encouraging you to date rape your friend. Tech Insider found a charming ad from the retail chain’s holiday catalog in which some creep, who looks a little too much like Robin Thicke, gives his well-dressed lady friend the look. “Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking,” the very terrible caption reads. Cool, nothing quite captures the Christmas spirit quite like getting your “friend” drunk for reasons known only to a Robin Thicke impersonator. But, Bloomingdale’s is really very sorry for publishing the advertisement. “In reflection of recent feedback, the copy we used in our recent catalog was inappropriate and in poor taste. Bloomingdale’s sincerely apologizes for this error in judgment,” the retailer toldTech Insider.
Boner Candidate #3: WHAT A TURD
A Brooklyn man was arrested at a Sandy Hook massacre charity event in Connecticut for accosting a victim’s family — and yelling that the shooting was a hoax, cops said on Tuesday. Matthew Mills, 32 — an infamous Sandy Hook “truther” — approached the family of slain teacher Victoria Soto at the Vicki Soto 5K Run in Stratford on Saturday and claimed that the 2012 shootings in Newtown, Conn., which killed 20 youngsters and six educators at an elementary school “never happened.”
