Amnesty

Thanks for coming to the writeathon last night everybody! Oh right, you didn't. Oh well -- in the meantime, check out these very arresting new ads about genital mutilation (everybody's favorite Friday topic):




And how come people keep calling it female circumcision? I think lopping off the foreskin is a little weird too, but it's still not particularly analogous to cutting off everything that sticks out and sewing a girl up shut when she hits puberty and is totally conscious and screaming and all. Plus, circum means circle -- there ain't no circle you're cutting off with the ladies. More of a teardrop with a couple dots, or something.

Lachrymiformcision?

Whatever.
