You know those guys at school who used to never be able to make up their own in-jokes so just borrowed the most offensive ones from The Office or The Inbetweeners, failing to realise you're meant to laugh* at* David Brent and the boys at whatever school The Inbetweeners went to? Well, they have some cohorts over in America. 'Fuck Her Right In The Pussy' is a meme started by a guy pretending to be a news reporter caught off guard talking about some unknown women. The way it's lived on for the past year and four months? Guys keep on yelling it near newscasters' microphones while they're just trying to tell the news.
And one Canadian woman reporter, fed up with the mentions she got of 'Fuck Her Right In The Pussy' - 'Every single day, people are yelling this at us. Men drive by and roll down their car windows and just yell it at you on the street' - decided to ask the guys who said it why the hell they did it. And the responses (done with as little eye contact as possible, a sure indicator of how confident they feel about actually talking to women who confront them) are pretty telling:
If you can't watch right now, they say stuff like: 'It has nothing to do with you, it has everything to do with everyone else' - even though she's the butt of the joke that 'everyone else' is to enjoy later on. His friend also said that she was 'lucky' that she didn't get a vibrator in her ear - a prank which happened in the UK when someone did an extended version of the 'FHRITP' - as it's otherwise known - to to one reporter.
The good news? Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment are now looking to ban the individuals in the video from attending any more matches at its stadium, reports The Guardian. Oh, and Hydro One, one of the biggest electricity providers in Toronto, have identified one of the men in the incident and have fired him for his conduct.
The bad news? Is sacking douchebags really the best way of stopping people from being douchebags? Or could their revenge, once fired, be much worse?
