It was good while it lasted!

(AP) -- Study: Fellatio may significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer in women.

How did I miss the clues?! Thanks Paul for setting me straight. As the disclaimer says; The names alone suffice to expose the text as a spoof: Dr. B.J. Sooner. Dr. Inserta Shafteer. Dr. Len Lictepeen. This is clearly not an Associated Press news story.

The text first appeared, dolled up to look exactly like a CNN News Web page, on a college student's Web site in early October 2003. It vanished without explanation soon afterward, only to reappear 24 hours later with a disclaimer stating that the story, which now bore the byline "Brandon Williamson," was intended "for entertainment purposes only." (A subsequent version was also stripped of all references to CNN, presumably due to threats of litigation.)

How’s that for an instant karmic ass kicking for the Royal post?!

A few thoughts, Shazza...

First, for all men, all over the world, I can only say, "thank you, thank you, Jesus!"

However, I fear a "bum rush" for my family jewels comparable to any George Romero movie.

Question--Will it now be an honor and a sign of a healthy lifestyle to be called a cocksucker?

Hey, we can use the photo of Chippamingo for our public service campaign! What am I talking about? Scroll back to the Thursday, February 15th Hodgepodge post.

Best quote of the article:

Yeah, so watch your step.

I'm in deep mourning now...

Why is it that all things that are too good to be true are just that? Funny, I thought I knew a Dr. Inserta Shafteer.

Looking forward to your next provocatively stimulating post! You're on a roll, sistah!

That's ok, Mater, Sharon doesn't have to come to New York, there's not too much to do here anyway. I'll be in Maui on the 31st, and we'll be having some wild parties dedicated to the eradication of breast cancer worldwide. We'll have a posh pad overlooking Haiku's downtrodden, and I'm bringing my best friend, his wife and their 3 and 5 year old girls with me! Why don't you consider a visit?
