Flagrant Click-Mongering Headline of the Day: Social Apps Lead to RAPE

No seriously, this article from Gigaom is claiming that those little apps on your little internet phone are going to lead someone to forcibly insert their genitals into your genitals, or at the very least stalk your genitals. Maybe rub up on them a little.  So WATCH OUT.

But the real kicker here is what comes next in the story. Basically a "calm down, calm down guys" reassurance that while, yes, location-based apps can lead to very creepy, rapey things, it's nowhere near as bad as the Catholic church!

"Banjo CEO Damien Patton responded that 'more people have been harmed by the Catholic Church' than the popular social networks."

So we should all take a chill pill (preferably a rufie). Letting people know what bar you're at: ok. Meeting with a pastor behind closed doors: doomsday, for your genitals.

Apparently Patton and Newspepper.com founder Hermione Way "clashed Monday on a panel discussing privacy at Monday’s Social Loco conference." I hope this spawns more debate--maybe a "Which is rapier?" tumblr,  with two photos side by side. First up: 

YOU BE THE JUDGE.
