Now He's Got Business Cards

Edgar Bellefontaine must really want the wife rapings to stop, especially now that there are THREE people involved. So what's a man to do when three people are allegedly raping his wife? That's right, make a business card. Our good friend who stands on the outskirts of the Daley Center plaza is now handing out business cards. Jessie decided to take one, since she would also like these rapings to cease.

In case the picture is blurry, the cards list the "Outlaw(s)." (I'm not sure why there is the (s), since there is obviously more than one outlaw.) The Outlaw(s) themselves are listed at the top of the business card as "ACLU-il.Org: Board President, Jill M. Metz," "Cook County Judge: Carole K. Bellows" (Bellows is the newest of the rapists), and "FBI Rapist Agent: Chris Saviano." Below those three pesky Outlaw(s) is, of course, the message that none of them apparently seems to be understanding: "Stop Raping My Wife!" (which, as you can tell, is the most legible phrase on the card). A dashed line separates the message from the messenger: "victim's husband: farhad khoiee-abbasi (Refugee)." Just in case you were confused about when this business card was printed, next to Farhad's name is "[Sep. 22, 2006]." I hate to question Farhad's effectiveness, but, just as with the sign, I fail to see how taking the time to make business cards will actually stop the supposed raping more effectively than grabbing Metz, Bellows, or Saviano and pulling them off of his wife. And are all three of them raping his wife at the same time? If so, how can he be sure that it is rape, as opposed to a really slutty wife trying to break free from the restraints of a sexually disappointing marriage? And since when does the FBI have a position called Rapist Agent? Technically, wouldn't that mean that, by raping Farhad's wife, Saviano was just doing his job? Worst of all, without leaving any contact information on his business card, how does Farhad expect anyone to get a hold of him once the raping(s) stop(s)? Again, a piss-poor, misguided effort by a man who seems so concerned about the ongoing raping of his wife by a variety of public and civil liberties officials.
