      How ridiculous would it be if street harassment was replaced by cheeseburgers? That's the subject of a recent video written by and starring Tess Paras.

      In the video's description, Paras says, "This comedy short explores how women experience catcalls. It challenges the notion that catcalls are compliments that all women should enjoy, and explores how they can be disruptions that diminish the value of a woman's place in the world."

      Directed by by Rebekka Johnson, the short features scenarios familiar to all women: random catcalls while walking on the street, unwanted attention from men in restaurants, and dudes shouting degrading things from cars—but instead of insults and come ons, these harassers are doling out greasy cheeseburgers.

      "Just tryin' to make you smile with a little friendly cheeseburger," one man says in the video, who then follows it up with, "Be polite, you bitch!" when she does not respond favourably to his advances.

      I wonder why control freaks hate free expression.
      If he doesn't touch you and you still want to grab his throat and stop him from talking, you are mentally disordered.
