Letters of the Week: Urban Legends
January 6, 2004

[Ed. note: Last week we ran editorial about rape that turned out to be a hoax. Our apologies to our readers, and our thanks to those who wrote in to set us straight.]

I didn't think some of the statements in your recent editorial entry about avoiding rape by Annonymous sounded quite right. I found an entry on the Snopes site. You may wish to repost a more accurate rape survival guide.

Thanks,

Check out this link on Snopes regarding the authenticity of the Anonymous authored Rape article on your site. It was provided to me when I posted it for discussion on a forum. While much of the content appeared to make common sense, I didn't think you would want to be spreading the equivalent of spam.
