Life imitated art on this one back in the spring in the UK with the strapline "if you don't get a yes, don't have sex": 1, 2, 3. (Last two links PDFs). Unfortunately they seem to have taken down the audio from the radio campaign.

What does the late arriving blonde say? I can't make it out. I mean, I can half guess but..?
Oh, this is very well done. Thanks Occams Hammer - you should probably add tags to the post.

You know that article 17 only works when there's some equal reciprocation.

Much funnier than I thought it would be too. Directed by Jason Reitman...the same guy as "Thank You for Smoking"?

They had a downloadable PDF on that site which was a very short version of the Sexual Consent form. My lawyerly friend and I were very disappointed that they didn't have all the articles on there.

based on the "funnier than I thought it would be" comments, I clicked the link, but got bored about a minute in and closed it. This is a really old joke.

Unfortunately for me it didn't put a new spin on an old bit the way that, say, Little Britain does. For an American audience this goes back to those mid-90s, ultra-politically correct times when many colleges actually had sexual consent forms and a lot of jokes were made about them (i.e. The Kids in the Hall sketch). So it's at least ten years out of date. I'm positive there's older comedy based on the same idea, though, it's just not coming to mind. Almost sounds like something Ernie Kovacs could have come up with.
The new twist of having it take place immediately before the act is certainly viable, but most of the dialog only approaches witty, not funny. I watched it a half-hour ago and I'm not finding any truly memorable lines like the "panty-peeler" one from Mark McKinney. Maybe the article 20 exchange, but that's your standard anal sex joke. The nipple play bit did make me smile.

Chappelle's show did this exact same thing, but much, much funnier.

Tenuki (and Justin C.), yeah, that KITH sketch was the first thing that came to my mind as well.
"Your client ejaculated, Gerald!"
Classic. I prefer the KITH because it's not some political commentary on how paranoid we are getting about lawyerness... just a commentary on the age-old issues of men being from mars and women from venus.

Uhm. Yeah. Old. Joke.
When this joke first came out, I was still a virgin. Hell, I was in middle school. Now I know that a quick pause and, "hey, is this okay?" or "what if I did X?" isn't a mood breaker. Neither is being sober. If sobriety and basic communication are the admission price of casual sex, then I say, bring it on. When done correctly, it can even win some nice guy (or naughty guy if that's your bag) points when done with style.
People who still carry these early 90s Angry White Guy chips on their shoulder need to tune the fuck in. There is so much more important stuff forwhite guys humanity to be pissed about.
Also, Dave Chappelle can do no wrong.

Target Practice: I don't see how it being over-the-top satire deviates at all from what I said (though I think it's mediocre satire, not very over-the-top satire).

Reverse Elvis = Black man taking White man's media, putting his spin on it, marketing it wider, and profiting. (I guess, I was drunk when I made it up upthread) I actually think the anal sex reference above was funnier.
