BronxZete and RUGreek, I agree with both of you. The "date rape" reference was apparently something along the lines of "In the next issue: Joe Shmo's date rape techniques" and the reason the bros considered this humorous was because Joe Shmo was shy and meek around women. It would be similar to saying "In this issue, Roseanne Barr's tips for singing the Star Spangled Banner" or "Marlon Brando's weight loss tips."
I agree date rape is an issue so sensitive that it shouldn't be brought up, but more than some men being crude, I question the mental state of the chick who dug through the garbage to find a copy of the paper.
