Are you a ski jumper, or just glad to see me?

    The byline at the bottom of the article jumped out at me:

    This is a professional journalist and doctor of microbiology. She has spent many many years in education and practice to reach her level of knowledge and ability. Then some editor says "hey I need 1500 words in a story we want you to write covering dudes injecting their junk for cosmetics and athletic performance enhancement. Can you have it done by Tuesday?". I can just imagine her eyerolling as she accepted the task. Dr. Beth Mole, don't worry. We still respect your credentials and achievements and understand you just have to pay the bills too.

    Based on the other things she writes I'm not sure her editor asked. She tends to write pun filled articles about kind of gross and disturbing medical cases in the news. Other writers from the same publication tend to write different and less sensational kinds of science articles so I think there is some choice

    The brand name on the jumper’s skis was made for this article…

    Before reading the article I honestly thought this would be about athletes trying to pick up in the village. It was even stupider than I imagined.

    Sounds like they could be shaming people that are insulating their dick from the cold of the prematch and could be slandering them for trying to make it look bigger, when in fact they are trying to not have it freeze.

    After all, people love a good slander, the more salacious the better, and they don't care if it's true, or disproven in real time, only if people will pretend to believe it.

    I am reminded of the skiier in China whose dick froze waiting for a race, remember him?

    I always hated sport competitions, but especially all the creepy predatory clothing restrictions
