Circumcision as told by Penn and Teller

Warning! Don’t watch this video at work.  Or near your chil’ens. Or if you get queasy at the thought of gratuitous phallic imagery, nudity, or “colorful” (i.e. “sounds like Cate”) language.

That disclaimer aside, I’ve come to understand what a heady topic circumcision can be! (No, I couldn’t resist the pun! And yes, I have been reading too much Cake Wrecks.)

After I wrote my initial blog exploring reasons to leave boys intact, there was a lot of “discussion” on the topic.  People sure are passionate about foreskins!

1 million times a year, 3,000 times a day, every 26 seconds, an American boy has the tip of his penis cut off.

Sometimes, it’s better to just let the professionals do the talking.  No, I don’t mean all of those doctors I consulted before I decided to leave my sons intact.

I’m talking, of course, about Penn and Teller, who explored circumcision on one of their “BS!” series episodes.

How about finishing up this serious topic with some humor?
