I would have called the cops. It is disgusting, the attitude of seeing 'rape' as something to joke about- disgusting and frightfully 'acceptable', especially amongst- I don't want to say younger folks and give folks a bad name- but I see it all the time in game (WoW), where the term 'rape' is something that is acceptable to joke about and give new and positive meaning to. For example in game, I have had guildmates say 'I got raped by....' to explain a defeat or 'We raped....' to explain a victory.

Those folks usually don't have a home in our guild very long, but it is disturbing how the term is being used and how acceptable it is becoming to joke about it.
