Having your sexual harassment cake and eating it too

Cake Wrecks features this mess of an anti-sexual harassment cake (or a bad joke?). I don't really have anything to say about it - it was just too bizarre not to post.

Thanks to Mo in Germany for the link!

I'm just trying to think of when it would be used.. maybe to celebrate a succesful sexual harassment lawsuit?? Or maybe divorce from a jackass husband?? Or resigning from Hooters??

Hmmm now that I think about it this cake actually does have a lot of uses.. not the least of which might be to throw in the face of anyone who touches your ass as you bend over in what looks like a jump suit.

What IS that little line on the man's belly anyway?? Please tell me it's not what I think they might be alluding to...

If you haven't already spent enough time surfing the internet this morning, Cake Wrecks is the most hilarious way to waste some time...

Let's just say a cake won't cut it... Here are some stats on sexual harassement

Justice denied: 81 % of sexual harassment complaints tossed out

Don't rely on the justice system to help you if you're sexually harassed. Or assaulted.

Blackmail, sabotage, torture and killing your perp are more effective means of getting the justice the system keeps out of your hands. Here's why:

"Between 1991 and 1997, the total number of discrimination charges of all types filed with the EEOC went up 26%. And sexual harassment charges went up a mind-boggling 130%. But merit resolutions account for only 11.0% and 18.8%, respectively, of those charges.

Let's look at the numbers more closely: In 1997 there were a total of 80,680 charges. Of those, 8,875, or 11.0%, were deemed to have merit. At the end of 1997, there were about 137 million people in the civilian labor force. Dividing 8,875 by 137 million equals .00065. Therefore, .065% of employees will file a "meritorious" charge with the EEOC each year, the vast majority of which can be settled for a nominal amount. For a company of 1,000 employees, that means less than one meritorious charge per year. And since the number of charges filed nationally includes government workers, who are particularly unhappy and litigious, the odds are even less than that for private-sector employers."

Meanwhile, conviction rates for sexual assaults are also *dismally low* : only 6 % of rapists will ever spend even a single day in jail. (figures from U.S. District Attorney's office)

I can't say I know exactly what I think about this cake... or why on earth anyone would ever need one, outside of an episode of "The Office"... but Cake Wrecks is one of the funniest blogs I've seen in a long time. I just wasted a good half hour trying so hard not to laugh out loud in the library that I nearly cried.

Dominique, I certainly hope you're joking.

That cake could be portraying the least appropriate magician's act ever.

Btw - it's true that cake wrecks is hilarious!! Once I saw the image in the blog's context, with the comments to go with it, it was a lot easier to laugh.

*sorry about the multiple posts*

I don't have anything to say about the cake, but I will forever be indebted to you for the link to Cake Wrecks. Having created wildly inappropriate, barely edible, and structurally unsound cakes myself, I can appreciate the site all the more.

Why is she bending down like that? Very weird.

And I heart Cake Wrecks.

Sexual Harassment Cake is formidable, but nothing tops this.

I too had a cake (with kind of a feminist theme) featured on Cake Wrecks: link

Well, at least it's an anti-sexual harrassment cake. And it did make me giggle a little bit.

Wait... JaneMinty... Are you saying that you made the horrible foot-binding cake?
