Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...: I'd greatly admire the man who inserted ribs . . . for her pleasure.; ५/२/१३, १:२१ PM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: My brother-in-law is a physician, and frequently works in the ER. You can't even begin to imagine what people stick up their butts.; ५/२/१३, १:२५ PM
Bob Ellison म्हणाले...: Hmm. Penal penile implants.; ५/२/१३, १:२५ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Ho-kay.

Glad about the absence of pictures.; ५/२/१३, १:४४ PM
Wince म्हणाले...: Ever hear the one about the jailed stockbroker who gave himself a hot tip?; ५/२/१३, १:५१ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: No books up in these prisons?; ५/२/१३, १:५६ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: Being so bored you'll cut open your genitals and stick stuff under the skin is pretty bored. Maybe the problem isn't boredom. Maybe it's plain old impulsivity and poor decision making, the sort of stuff that gets one into prison in the first place.; ५/२/१३, १:५८ PM
RazorSharpSundries म्हणाले...: Yeah, liberals always blame aberrant behavior on boredom but it's always invariably just a way to fuck up your life more than anything else. These poor antipodean penal colonists are just tryin' to get a leg up. They're just nonpareil shitheads.; ५/२/१३, २:११ PM
Leland म्हणाले...: MadasHell, ask your in-law if he's heard of piercing one's scrotum with a needle for inflating footballs/basketball and then "airing it up". My wife had one of those enter her ER. And this was a kid under 18 not in prison.

For those tempted by the thought, just note that the end result is not limited to the scrotum. The skin, detached from his arm, was described as crunchy to the touch. To understand what happens, watch "Swamp People" and learn how alligator hide is removed with compressed air.; ५/२/१३, २:१९ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; ५/२/१३, २:२२ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: With a mostly male cast of commenters I have three queries to pose to the good Professor:

1. Does the subject of males self (one would hope) implanting their penis appeal to Prof Althouse puriently?

2. Is Prof Althouse being an agent provcateur to her commenters?

3. Is it a slow news day?; ५/२/१३, २:२३ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: "1. Does the subject of males self (one would hope) implanting their penis appeal to Prof Althouse puriently?"

I'm interested in things that are bizarre and disgusting... but only if they make it into mainstream media. I don't look around on porn websites and what not.

"2. Is Prof Althouse being an agent provcateur to her commenters?"

Just in case you're ever so bored you think that might be better than boredom, I'm hoping you will think again.

"3. Is it a slow news day?"

Ask Buzzfeed.; ५/२/१३, २:४३ PM
edutcher म्हणाले...: I'll bet Drop The Soap is a favorite game.

And I think it's agent provocateuse in her case.; ५/२/१३, २:४५ PM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: Well, Australia started out as a penile colony, right?; ५/२/१३, ३:४९ PM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: Also, this is how every article should be written. Like a rebus with pictures. None of that paragraph business.; ५/२/१३, ३:४९ PM
Amartel म्हणाले...: "You've got to do something that fills in the day."

The article is about the increase in requests for penile implants from the prison population.

Gosh, I'm so bored I need a bigger penis. To fill in the day.

Zee jokes, zhey write zemselves!; ५/२/१३, ४:०७ PM
Amartel म्हणाले...: "My brother-in-law is a physician, and frequently works in the ER. You can't even begin to imagine what people stick up their butts"

I have a good friend who is a doctor. The stories about butt spelunking at the ER are astounding.

Most recently: A Lightbulb.
[Pause for pondering.]
Yes, a lightbulb!
It broke, stunning development, and required piece by broken piece extraction.; ५/२/१३, ४:१० PM
William म्हणाले...: As a fad, I don't think this will catch on. But then again I thought the same thing about tattoos and piercings. It's happening among the prison population, and they're the most fashion forward members of society. How long before Kanye West takes it up and Kim Kardashian starts raving about how great it is to screw a guy with a Rolex implanted in his penis? This will not end well.; ५/२/१३, ५:५५ PM
Unknown म्हणाले...: "You've got to do something that fills in the day."

Or those pesky boring spaces in the penis.; ५/२/१३, ९:४१ PM
