A Danish anti-violence group has many women's groups upset after starting a new Web site called HitTheBitch.dk.
When you visit the page you see a model and a hand. Users can control the hand with their mouse to make it slap the woman repeatedly. With each strike the woman becomes more bruised until she falls to the floor crying and holding her neck.
If the woman is hit enough, the phrase "100% Gangsta" appears on the screen, followed by the phrase "100% Idiot." If you choose not to hit the woman, the score bar at the top of the screen reads "100% Wimp."
The group that made the site,
NGO for Children, was established in 2002 by Kirsten Raffel Hermansen. It was originally formed to help children in families exposed to domestic violence, but has broadened its scope to include help for teens exposed to dating violence and programs for battered women.
