But the comments suggest that either the commenters are being wooshed or that these people are serious. They can’t be serious, right?

All I can say is, as a gay, black man, when I’m feeling horny and violent, latex clad females crawling around on the floor, who I can beat up and call “bitch and ho,”\* are what I look for.

(\* Making that bitch “give me my money” is an added thrill.)

I saw [this article](http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2009/03/19/Explicit_Inflatable_Wolverine_a_Hoax/) a little bit ago. The claim is that it’s a The Onion affiliated site. Maybe there is more information on that affiliation somewhere, if it exists at all.

Obviously, you are confused about your sexuality here. You may wish you were gay, but if latex clad females are what turns you on, really you are straight. Come on, man, get out of that closet, and say, “I’m heterosexual, and proud of it!”

A third alternative to wooshed or serious is that they are playing along.

I just like that the Google ads at the bottom are for Beautiful Chilean Women.

Why not Vidalia Onions instead of some kind of chilis?😃

Hilarious parody. What’s that rule about not being able to tell parody from reality? I daresay most of the comments are playing along, but _some_ aren’t. That you can’t tell which is which says something.

Why parody? [How To Spot A Masturbator.](http://christwire.org/2010/05/how-to-spot-a-masturbator/) Check out the pictures. Check out the author credit. Awesomenss.

Intense masturbation would disrupt? I can’t help but picture that scene from Airplane!

[DIY vajazzling](http://crissyspage.com/2010/03/01/diy-vajazzling-even-better-than-the-real-thing/). This is my favorite blog of all time.

Oh, good. It is kind of hard to tell, though, I think, which says some disturbing things about the Christian right in this country. It reads not-unlike the free republic, only more interesting and creative.

Some of them are, but most of them look wooshy.

But a _really_ good “playing along” should be indistinguishable from a woosh.🆒

I’ve been Penizzled.

It takes some getting used to. My girl won’t come near me and I now know that my dog can actually laugh.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a whole chapter in her book about “vajazzling”. She mentions how her “little lady” looked like her “favorite denim jacket from the '80s.” :eek:

(And yeah, I’m reading it. It’s hysterical. Did you know that you’re supposed to go to the jewelry store every month and try on your dream engagement ring? Oh, and when you exercise, wear a tiara)

Can’t access the site at the moment, but I’ve seen it before. My initial impression was that the website’s layout was way too competent to be anything but a clever satire.
