...messages that the various peer-counseling groups presented and ignore the distractions of the two girls whispering in front of me and the guy next to me cracking his neck and smirking in between his sighs of boredom. The presentation did not focus on addressing the gravity of sexual violence, but raised comical questions about whether or not a woman lying down on a man's bed and winking constitutes "asking for it."

What do mail order junkies, balding men with obscure sexual fantasies, and red-lipped, black-eyed, gothic teens all have in common? No, you did not see them featured on Jerry Springer's most random episode, but chances are, if you live in the quaint little town of Mumford, you may have caught them spilling their guts in the office to the oh-so-popular psychologist Dr. Mumford. Yes, that's Dr. Mumford living in Mumford. And if you have eight dollars and two hours to waste, I invite you to indulge in several other, much more ridiculous, aspects...
