Domino’s Pizza’s makes a hah-hah rape joke with its new “NO IS THE NEW YES”

Not a surprise, considering it is owned by a conservative jackass.

Seriously? Don’t you have any women on your marketing team?

I was with a group of people who ordered Domino’s Pizza this past weekend. When the pizzas came, some of them, called “Artisan Pizzas” came in this box in box with the phrase “NO IS THE NEW YES” in large font across the top. Almost everyone in the room of about a dozen people collectively went “WTF?”

The MRA guy who says date rape used to just be called "exciting" also insists that no sometimes means yes... and he has supporters here.

Oh wait, rape is funny, and women really want to be dominated.

Right.

I keep forgetting.

Forgot my "place" there for a second.
