“The human obsession with the size of one’s ‘man-antler’ goes back to the musky dawn of mankind, and has been well documented since the days of classical antiquity. […] Accounts exist of high-ranking noblemen in fourteenth-century Europe being permitted to display their tackle below a short tunic; those noblemen who were not blessed with impressive lures had the option of donning a leather falsie called a braquette.

“One can only imagine the seething envy those noblemen might have held toward the race of great sea-beasts known as the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), whose ithyphallic members grow an average of ten feet long and one foot in diameter! With this in mind, one wonders if the nineteenth-century whaling trade was caused in part by an uncontrolled jealousy veiled as peevish indignation on the part of mushroom-sporting puritan merchants who perhaps couldn’t stand the sight of their wives’ gazes turning longingly to the sea during uncomfortable pauses in conversation at the dinner table.”

To the modern eye, it looks as though this lad is on his cell phone. “Hey man, you’re never going to guess what I’m about to do…”

Kissed (Lynne Stopkewich, 1996).

The movie I was reminded of after reading THIS story that’s been tumbling around (Swedish woman charged with using human bones as sex toys, etc). The above scene is hilarious as it’s played with complete earnestness.
 

The discriminating eyes of my followers are no doubt wondering why I’ve posted images so lacking in aesthetic merit — and rightfully so! They are ugly indeed. (If you found them beautiful or titillating, please “unfollow” at this time.)

I thought the images were amusing / interesting because of where I found them, which was on Wikipedia (and no, I’m not being overly literal in regards to my “sex and brains” theme). It seems as though the illustrator tried make them look clinical — the way they’re lit and colored, no background — but somehow failed miserably and ended up making them look obscene on a whole other level (and for different reasons).

For those of you who haven’t already guessed or explored this part of the online encyclopedia yourself, the illustrations are the entries for “fisting” and “mammary intercourse” (though I doubt anyone refers to the latter activity in quite that way).

See also “Pegging”, “Gokkun”, and “Creampie.”

One of the better cartoons from Tim Kreider’s mediocre first anthology The Pain — When Will It End? (2004).

Don’t get me wrong, Kreider is one of the best cartoonists — or even straight satirists — working, but this particular collection is (largely) second rate.

Cynicism can be suffocating.  

Jokes (#2)
 

INTERVIEWER: Willem Dafoe — and I think you’ve mentioned this before — plays probably the worst therapist in the history of movies.

LARS VON TRIER: First of all, I have been undergoing this cognitive therapy for three years, and I tend to get sarcastic about it. One of the main ideas behind the treatment is that a fear is a thought, and a thought doesn’t change reality. But you can say in the film that it’s changed reality. As for Dafoe, I wouldn’t let him treat her in any other way than with his dick; he has an enormous dick. We had to take those scenes out of the film. We had a stand-in for him because we had to take the scenes out with his own dick.

INTERVIEWER: You had a stand-in dick for Dafoe?

LARS VON TRIER: We had to, because Will’s was too big.

INTERVIEWER: Too big to fit on the screen?

LARS VON TRIER: No, too big because everybody got very confused when they saw it.
