10:14am: My friend emails me this article: A Nebraska judge bans the word rape from his courtroom . Which, in reading the article I become upset for many reasons. Women's rights, first amendment rights, male chauvinism, I could go on and on. 10:29am: I email it to three more friends. One friend [...]

I'm going to say this was this move. We know Facebook flyers cost money, that's fine. They're non-obtrusive and benefit the users involved. Usually.
