Super Heroes and Angry Jews and Foreskins, oh my

Yeah, I know, not the greatest GDF topic, but look around at the topics lately.

Anti-circumcision comic offends Jewish leaders

An Internet comic featuring a blond Foreskin Man battling an evil Monster Mohel intent on circumcising a baby has angered local Jewish leaders who say it is anti-Semitic.

Matthew Hess, the man behind both the comic and a ballot measure to ban circumcision in San Francisco, says he knows the loaded imagery behind his campaign has ruffled a few feathers.

But that's kind of the point, he said.

"Any character who circumcises children is not going to be drawn favorably," he said. "I think what's being done to young boys right now is a serious crime. The fact that it has been done for thousands of years doesn't excuse it."

Hess and his associates have pushed a measure onto San Francisco's November ballot that would make circumcising anyone under 18 within city limits a misdemeanor punishable by a $1,000 fine, even if it's done for religious reasons. -end snip

Full Story

Have to admit, the way Jews are depicted (google "foreskin man"😉 is somewhat of a throwback to Germany's propaganda in the 30's & 40's.

I think there is something in the water. Making people NUTZ

I love it, but only for the anti-semitism

Yeah that comic is pretty ****ed up but so is the law in a way because there is no religious exemption and as horrible as it is, circumcision is not as bad as Female Genital Mutilation.

My proposed compromise would be allowing circumcision in the following cases-
1. Religious circumcision or dorsal slit conforming to traditions. (meaning Jews should be removing the TIP of the foreskin, not the whole thing).
2. Phimosis that fails to respond to stretching, steroids, frenuloplasty or preputioplasty.
3. BXO infection.
4. Paraphimosis where draining or dorsal incision cannot be preformed.
5. Cancer
6. Recurring Genital Warts
7. Adult elective Comsesis.

Wouldn't that leave the dude with a foreskin that looked like a loose worn-out sock or an aardvark's snout?

Can't remember the technical term of the top of my head, but the tight-contracting-tissue-ring that closes the foreskin is in the tip, no?

wtf

For goodness sake, the moment you portray Jews as inherently evil people start crying "antisemitism". ****in' political correctness.

I'd like to know Palin's opinion.

why should a parent have the right to have cosmetic surgery performed on their child?

Because we give them all kinds of other crazy rights over them due to children being a moral and legal gray zone.

Well I'm a father of a 5 yr old son.

Personally I was circumcised at birth some 40 years ago.
Back then it was a "normal" procedure to do, for hygiene purposes, especially if you were born in a country that was classified as third world.

Suffice to say I don't remember the pain of getting it done much less the discomfort of the healing after. I don't resent my parents & I'm not living my life in anguish over the "abuse" of having my foreskin & moral rights removed as an infant.

In 2006 when I son was born, the topic of circumcision was never brought up. I was mildly surprised it was a non-issue, whether on religious or hygienic purposes.
And so my son is uncircumcised.

It's been hilarious & sometimes embarrassing trying to teach a child to pull back his foreskin & clean his "willy" in the shower, much less after every time he goes to pee.

I've also heard that he might go through a painful stage around puberty where the foreskin may be tight & constricting during his 1st few erections.

So yeah on hindsight, if the option was given at birth for him to be circumcised, I would've opted for yes, based on my own experiences of growing up.

Another prime example of the ongrowing insanity in the world. Sexual mutilation should be banned imo. But making a comic about it is just sad.

Why would you opt to do this to your baby when teaching hygiene is so simple and basically painless?

You're referring to the frenulum (sp?).

Yeah, that's a gentler doctor. He's also doing it a tad slower than most...probably for the vid/documentary?

Anyway, glad "mine" was done when I was a newborn.
