Eep! I can’t shave down there, because I’d no longer have a penis… it’d be a foot! ---

Not opening the link since I’m at work but…shaving does make it look bigger. So does losing weight if you’re carrying extra pounds. ---

It’s a Flash video on a site advertising a whole-body razor. A clean-cut guy comes out in a white bathrobe and speaks directly to the camera about how you can use the razor to shave all over, delicate areas like your armpits your BEEP (and when the beep plays, a picture of 2 nuts flashes on the screen), your BEEP (closeup picture of a peach or something). At some point another BEEP and a picture of a carrot. All the while he’s talking in this cocky way and making mad eye contact. Almost as bad as the Burger King. ---

I thought it was a spoof. And a really unfunny boring spoof, which rang alarm bells. So I whois-ed, and it’s not a spoof. It’s just awful. ---

> [@blinkingblinking](#): > > Are men shaving hair from their entire body? Or is this just a complete joke ? Men are increasingly shaving hair from certain unsightly areas, and trimming hair from others. It’s perfectly legit and from what I’ve gathered, womankind is pleased. Gaymalekind has been doing it for quite a while now. Keep up! ---
