A controversial license plate? Shocking!

IB6UB9.

This is license plate that Robert Anaya is not allowed to have any longer in the state of New Mexico. The state’s DMV has issued him a notice, citing that the plate is obscene and is being revoked. This will not stand for Anaya, who feels that an inside joke — not an obscene sexual reference — from a friend at a casino has turned into an issue of the government taking away our constitutional rights.

Maybe it’s because of the early time of writing this post, but the Guys keep looking at the plate and we just don’t get it. It’s …

…

……. oh. Ohhhhhhh. Gotcha.

Foreskin and seven beers ago …

The male cricumcision debate rages on in the Western world with advocates on both sides claiming a list of benefits from having a either a turtle- or crew-necked penis. (The Guys prefer a V-cut, ourselves.) And now, the American Academy of Pediactrics have weighed in … sort of.

The AAP — which is not to be confused with the American Academy of Pediatricians, a collection of right-wing lunatics with medical degrees and an unhealthy fascination with gay kids — has concluded that, yes, there are health benefits to circumcising your baby boy and that those benefits outweigh the risks of the procedure. (They did not, however, acknowledge our dissertation on there being more than one way to skin a penis.)

Just to be clear: the AAP isn’t saying that circumcised is better than not circumcised, just that it’s not as medically dangerous as opponents claim. And so ultimately, the decision as to which is better rests in the hands of the only qualified judges: straight women and gay men.

Olympian finally takes first — with booze

The Olympics are over (but don’t tell Prince Harry and Ryan Lochte that), and our athletes have returned home. But for some Olympians, the dream isn’t over.

Nick Symmonds proudly represented the U.S. in men’s 800-meter run, but in the final race he took fifth, falling well short of his hopes. Now, in order to win back his pride, he has set a new American record in the beer mile. This, of course, is the Olympic event where you chug a beer, run a mile, chug a beer and repeat until you get sick.

Next up, the world record. U-S-A! U-S-A!
