Couldn't they have just sent another reporter who was already circumcised?

Wasn't that the plot of a Kevin Bacon movie?

If they had sent a female reporter, this would be international news.

That doesn't seem like a very good reason to go off half-cocked.

You mean the one where he's invisible and tries to kill everyone? I don't think any penis gourds were involved.

That's awesome and I'll tell you why.
1) He will always command the respect and admiration of his collegues
2) He will definitely get a raise for that
3) great story to tell at the bar and his grandkids
4) Women will be intrigued

Is this the one where a toothless elder spits some type of fermented beer, that was made by women that chewed up a bunch of leaves, on his cock after it's cut?

Now I'm going crazy. What was that movie that had the dinner party scene in which some phony lady kept on correcting everybody with "Pa-POOOOO-ah?"

So he undergoes this ceremony to see their jungle paths, which he then publishes and the police shut down their access between places they do not see as disparate?

Some of the rebels still closely observe traditional customs, including wearing penis gourds, with the sizes varying according to status.


All cultures must be appreciated, accepted and promoted.

I prefer my medical procedures to be carried out by people from cultures that have discovered metal. Also, sterile technique is a plus.

Because only barbarian cultures engage in genital mutilation ?

That reporter has to be this guy:

When I get my foreskin lopped off I get it lopped off with bamboo.

Oy Vey iz mir! Where do you find a mohel in New Guinea? Maybe the bamboo bris will become all the rage on the upper east side next year.

I was actually surprised read in TFA that the Australian branch of New Corp. stood up for transparency after the phone hacking scandal that wilted the British branch, performing a voluntary audit on their expenses to ensure their reporters or editors were behaving in an upright manner. Bravo, guys.

Bear Grylss' Piss'd be a great way for A-B Inbev to reclaim some of their market share.
