Since I’m getting the ad on my end, I must assume others are, too. Undo Circumcision Damage Now I haven’t read the entire text of the ad nor clicked on its link, but I have been wondering if the UNDO concept might be extended beyond mere circumcision damage. Undo birth? Undo castration? Undo facelift? What else might one reasonably expect to undo? And for anybody who’s bothered to investigate this ad, WTF? ---

I don’t know, but I’m highly amused that the featured ad for this thread is “Certified Mohel- Bris” (“Without the use of painful devices”). ---

That’s certainly a tie-in. I’ve tried to get another look at the UNDO ad, but apparently there’s a rotisserie of ads – right now I’m getting a plug for Dane Cook (could there be a connection?) – at least 5 different ones on some cycle sort of thing. As soon as it pops up again, I’m going to get more details. This may be the biggest thing I do today! But just to restate the main premise of the thread, another recent thread prompted me to indicate some things that it’s better to do right the first time so you don’t have to re- them. Stuff like: gurgitate lax connoiter furbish monstrate venge and so on. The UNDO action might be similarly applied to things. Just for laughs, of course. ---

I’m not sure about that ad in particular, but I’ve definitely heard of men ‘restoring’ their foreskin from circumcision done at birth. It mostly involved hanging little weights around the skin and letting gravity do its work over time. ---

It mostly involved hanging little weights around the skin and letting gravity do its work over time. Sounds thrilling. I got a joke in email about that very topic. Had to do with it turning black – IIRC. ---

Dammit! I haven’t seen that ad again since the OP. Dane Cook can kiss my ass. ---

JDT is but a poor lost soul who is doomed to stalk the earth in torment until that most holy of holies, the foreskin, is restored to its rightful place. Think we can get Peter Jackson to direct the movie?
