Police Release Rape-Themed Version of 'The Night Before Christmas'

Police in Nottinghamshire, England have managed to offend both the rape-averse and Disneyphiles with their new Christmas anti-rape PSA which they've called "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It's like "The Night Before Christmas," but with rape.

It should shock no one that the rapey Weird Al Yankovic-ing of a beloved Christmas poem didn't go over well. And is it any wonder? I mean read the thing.
