Covered in rust? Check. Primer-colored? Check. Shocks worn out in the back? Check. Parked at a strip mall? You bet. Really, the only thing non-rapey about this van is the abundance of windows, but I think the matte finish more than makes up for it. The flatter the finish, the rapier the van, I always say. Oh but what’s that? It also belongs to a clown? That’s right, this clown even has a website, that’s his her picture below on the right (Update: The phone numbers don’t match up. Maybe they’re different clowns?). Look, I’m not saying this rusty-van driving clown actually rapes people, I’m just saying she scares the hell out of me. How ironic that a clown named “Rainbow” would be driving a van with no paint on it. [via DangerousMinds, thanks to Tehvault from Argentina for the tip]

A well-endowed adult film actor best known for having sex with women in the back of moving vehicles, was arrested and charged with 22 counts of animal cruelty this week. I say it’s about time, he’d been beating up the pussy for years! (*tap dances off stage, slips in puddle of semen*)

Police were called to the scene at 37th Avenue and 7th in Miami Monday, after witnesses said they heard the sound of a child crying coming from inside a van parked there (the sound you expect to hear coming from a parked van, basically). Instead, inside the van, which belonged to Raul Armenteros, 46, aka Ramon from BangBus, who has a dong the size of my forearm not that I would know, police say they found “8 roosters, 4 guinea hens, 4 pigeons, 4 goats and 1 duck.” Which can mean only one thing: somewhere in Miami, there’s a man with two turtle doves in his ass.

Police found four goats “tied up inside plastic bags” with one of the goats dead. About 45 minutes later, Armenteros and James Arroyo, 44, arrived on the scene and both said they owned the animals.
Police charged Armenteros and Arroyo with 22 counts of animal cruelty. The two men [are being] held in Miami-Dade County Jail on $110,000 bond each.
Animal control responded and recovered the animals. [CBSMiami]

“But I’m not a baaaad man,” the goat killer assured the police. (I’m sorry for that). Anyway, I say we let these guys go if they just tell us what they were planning to do with all those animals, and provide the phone number of the open-minded lady they were planning to do it with. Then we cook up the goat and have a party. I mean, I get the feeling Ramon’s no stranger to a spit roast, ifyaknowwhatamsayinandIthinkyado. (*cough*) TALK ABOUT A HEAVY PETTING ZOO! (*cough, cough*) Fine, fine, I was already leaving.

I sure hope this porn star GETS OFF! (*caught in butterfly net*) (*dragged away kicking and shouting by men in black suits*) It’s always nice to see someone BLEATING THE SYSTEM! (*gag stuffed in mouth*) mmmmff! mmmmfff! mrrrphhh! (*thrown in back of van, van speeds away*)

WE HAVE DISCOVERED AN ANCIENT CACHE OF SEVENTIES SOFTCORE PORN PHOTOS TAKEN BY A VAN DRIVER. TODAY IS A GREAT DAY.

For today’s Friday Free for All, our regularly-scheduled, non-movie-related digression, an effusive thanks goes out to UptownAlmanac for their recent, incredible investigative work on one of our favorite topics, Rape Vans. They recently discovered in San Francisco the above van, which fits our definition of “Rape Van” on so many levels that I don’t even know where to begin (windowless, covered in rust, parked on the street…).  But here’s where it gets A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER. This Rape Van driver has a website.  And this Rape Van driver looks like this:

I. Want. To be married in that vest.  I want to be BURIED in that vest. Or stuffed in it and paraded before future generations as a symbol of pride.  But I don’t even have TIME to discuss how awesome Larry Jamison’s outfit is, because this story too quickly gets EVEN BETTER. Did I mention Larry Jamison’s website is dedicated to his photography?  Did I mention that Larry Jamison’s website has a section called “Boudoir”?  Is there ANY word in the English language more rapey-sounding than BOUDOIR?  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  These pictures… they simply must be seen.  (*crosses self, says 10 Hail Maries, thanks Gods for whatever I did to deserve this*)

The other day after posting my most recent rape van submission (as the internet’s number one destination for vannin’ and rape-van related van pictures, it happens all the time), a friend asked, “Wait, is every van a rape van?”

I believe this to be one of the most important questions we face today.  Is simply being a van enough?  Everyone understands vans to be the rapiest of vehicles (except for the owner of the above van, who still disputes this conclusion), like non-commercial incarnations of semi tractor trailer cabs. But are they all rapey?  The easy answer is that some are more rapey than others.  A Mazda MPV, for instance, is not very rapey, due in no small part to the abundance of windows.  However, there exists no one perfect equation that can accurately determine the rapeyness of a particular van.  Like the Supreme Court justice famously said of obscenity, “I can’t tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it.”  The same is true of Rape Vans.  So come with me, as we explore just what makes a van rapey or righteous.

My, my, a SECOND rape van post?  What God did I please, you must be thinking.  That’s right, loyal FilmDrunkard Matthew saw this morning’s post on the World’s Most Legit Rape Van and promptly sent over a picture of the Star Wars rape van you see above, which he spotted a few weeks ago in Seattle.  And as we all know, Rape Vans come in threes, like celebrity deaths, or a bukkake quorum, so WHO KNOWS WHAT MAJESTY THIS AFTERNOON WILL BRING???

If forced to compare this rape van to this morning’s rape van, I don’t think there’s any question that a rainbow-queefing unicorn being ridden into space by an AK-47-toting Viking with a ZZ Top beard beats a pretty standard rendering of the iconic Star Wars characters.  However, I will say that being covered in rust and parked in front of what appears to be an abandoned factory, this one may have the edge in actual rapiness.  “Now if you’ll just move the insulation and old rebar aside, I’ll show you where I keep the candy.”

I wonder if this is Jaimie Alexander‘s van.
