Australia worlds first country to outlaw "psychic rape".

"It's not like this is actually happening." Said Australian congressman Reginald O'dooley. "I don't want people to get the wrong idea about Australia, that it's some kind of place where people are getting psychically raped all the time, or something. But if you live out in the bush long enough, especially if you've been spending time with aborigines, then you really begin to realize that there are things out there that science just can't explain, and it would be terrible, if somebody learned how to rape with their mind, and there were no laws in place to prevent and punish these horrible offenses." Although one might assume that passing such a law would have no real effect, in fact, since the law states that the rape need not be sexual in nature, it has recently been used to prosecute several advertising firms.
