There HAS to be some sort of April Fools component to this article:

Dr. Wang jokes with the new parents a bit and then says, "I understand you may want to have a circumcision for your baby."

W T F hahaha

I dunno, a lot of this stuff is stuff I've heard before, although I didn't know about the HiV stats. I guess circumcision really is good for people (both with penises & without).

I've only had the chance to see 1 penis that hadn't been circumcised, not that I've seen too many.. It was notably prettier with the foreskin (most penises are kind of ugly) but it was also notably smellier (I have a very good sense of smell), & washing didn't really eliminate (no pun intended) the odor. I'd be quite willing to sacrifice aesthetics in this case for practicality.

you missed the joke..

It's a man named DOCTOR WANG discussing circumcision.

Hm, I still do. Is 'wang' a slang term for penis?
