The Anti-Rape Condom

While I can't ever see a woman wearing one of these all the time comfortably for it to be useful, the idea of it reducing rape is an interesting one (and I encourage anything that tortures the bastards that try it).

A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attacker's penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.
[...]
The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.
Personally, I'm all for something that just chops the rapist's Johnson off, but this is a start. Link via b3ta.

The fear, though, is that the rapist will want revenge. What's to stop him from getting hooked on that thing then killing the woman in rage or something? Scary.

Jon,
At least she'd do quite a number on his wing-dang-doodle which, we hope, would be a lifelong problem.
