Wank on FARK.com? I'm shocked!
To think, I was afraid the elevator story would bring wank . . .

A story about female circumcision in Britain is posted on Fark, with the tagline, "Live in Britain and can't seem to find any locals willing to mutilate your daughters? Well, you are in luck. Just fly in some elders from Africa to handle the promiscuity-reducing mutliation." Naturally, people are sicked by the thought that it's still happening, even in the Western world . . . or are for all of two comments. Comparisons are made to male circumcision, and the wank is mighty as farkers fight over whether there are any advantages to being circumsized, if it's equal in magnitude to FGM, and whether or not circumsized guys do have reduced sensitivity.

242 comments later, it's calmed down, but still wanky.

Yup. I encountered it in Nigel Barley's hilarious book about fieldwork among the Dowayo - going along laughing at things the hapless anthropologist is seeing or doing, and then all of a sudden ... yikes!

I'll have you know that the Google ad that shows up on top in Gmail for this comment notification reads:

Someone should tip off the spam companies they're really cutting themselves short on this one.

I thank you for the compliment, but I'm going to have to cut you off here... I'm afraid you've mistaken my brassiered boobs for brass balls.

There I go again, confusing someone's gender over the internet!

Happens all the time. I seem to have "online gender" dysphoria.

I swear I'm going to make an icon with "I swear by my huge throbbing internet cock that I am a woman."

Good idea. Best to let them know so they can tackle the problem head-on. Really get on top of things, yanno?

No, but it does have a *piercing* sound.
