In America, the "Bob and Tom show" is a nationally syndicated radio show on the Q-stations of ClearChannel Broadcasting

Anyway, Friday March 6, 2009 one of their guests was a jewish comedian and circumcision came up...
They said that if Chick wasn't already circumcised that they'd have it done on the show. They had a tribute song to circumcision but they didn't get around to playing it. Someone and I think it may have been the comedian said that some countries circumcise women and Kristi immediately joined in and said yeah let's not talk about that! The comedian said he knew someone who had to be done as an adult and claimed that it was much more painful as an adult than when a child because in jewish tradition they give the baby a few sips of alcohol and a local anesthetic "which has a numbing effect"

Clearly, I am not happy.

So, express displeasure at it, but try to be funny enough to hope for an On Air read... Must be funny to sophmoric humor, have seriousness behind it, good facts, throw in a bit of satire, and drop some funny sounding names in hopes of getting them some free ad time on a national radio show...


Dear Bob and Tom,

One of your guests on Friday March 6, I forget who since I thought they weren't that funny, went off on a tangent on being Jewish and Circumcision. One of you mentioned that if Chick weren't already circumcised (presumably Bob and Tom are too), you'd have done that to him on air; so I've thought up a couple alternatives...

Make Chick start up "Foreskin Restoration" for at least a couple weeks if not a month or more. It's a slow process so you'll have some running jokes, the devices are akward to wear and pretty goofy looking. Plus the names are GREAT! I am NOT making these up: "The PUD", "TugAhoy", "Yourskin Cone"...

Or you could have Kristi get a labiaplasty with hood removal since those are the equal structures on women, and it's coming up on what would be perfect timing! It was March 30th 1997 the Female Genital Mutilation Bill became law, and protects all girls under 18. (This will be 12th anniversary of the FGM law, there's going to be a march on Washington yet again this year trying to get the same protection for boys) http://www.stopinfantcircumcision.org/2009SICshed.htm

If it's funny to do that to a male, it's gotta be just as funny with a female, right? Can't just change the subject, because you like one and not the other; either both are funny, or both are horrible. I'm not going to mention any of the many other things lost by circumcision, or the effects when you get old, this letter is too long already and you can find it online in any search engine.

Come on guys, circumcision was made mainstream in America by John Harvey Kellogg (the cereal guy), and it's been claimed to cure everything from Masterbation, Common Cold, Tuberculosis, Cervical Cancer, AIDS...they've all been disproved, but really whose gonna let THAT stop them from going after their son with a knife?

If anyone else would like to join me in sharing displeasure with them, feel free. Also, anybody want to get the angry villagers with torches and pitchforks? Angry listeners are often listened to if there are enough of us.

I see the only way to hear show clips at their site is to send them money. To hell with that. I see one of the guests on Friday was Robert Schimmel, a guy who normally cracks me up. I've never heard him work in circumcision, but I wouldn't be suprised if he was prone to the same borscht-belt cliches we always hear.

I see that Doug Stanhope is due in on the 13th. HE IS PRO-INTACT. Make that the focus of a letter: "Ask Doug Stanhope, he'll set you straight." Maybe even find Doug's facebook page or some way to reach him and warn him to be prepared to be funny about foreskin.

Where in the world are these guys sitting as they broadcast?

Cheers,

Hey,
I noticed Bo Burnham on their schedule for 3/10. This guy is an absolute scream. He's an 18 y/o kid who made himself rich by writing hilarious comedic tunes, posting them on YouTube, and selling CDs to fans. His intricate song lyrics are often twice as funny if you read them instead of just hearing.

His songs sometimes touch on circumcision, but only for a punch line. His humor has a subtle sensitivity that makes one think he is VERY sympathetic to us, if not intact.

So I don't know if he reads any of his fan mail, but if a bunch of people wrote to him that Bob & Tom need a talking to, he might either get it or make a joke about it.

Dear Bob and Tom,

Was your little quip about circumcising Chick on your show supposed to be funny?

Because it wasn't.

How about you crack a joke about circumcising Kristi on the show? You could get her drunk and feed her a date-rape pill to produce a 'numbing effect.' Yuck! Yuck!

Not so funny, is it. Forcefully circumcising males is funny, but when it comes to circumcising females "let's not talk about that" isn't it.

Genital mutilation is no joke. Let's not do it about EITHER sex, THANK you.

Not impressed,
Joseph

Isn't it interesting how pro-circs ALWAYS know of someone who had to be done as an adult, and it's always "oh so painful" compared with (you guessed it) infant circumcision, where they can't remember? They give Jewish babies wine just in case. Like it's supposed to make it all the better.

Robert Schimmel has most definitely worked circ into his act. He's told the oh-so-delightful story of his son's unnecessary mutilation on "The Daily Show" and on a stand-up special if I'm not mistaken. The "Daily Show" segment can be seen in full on their site, or you can read the transcript on circumstitions.com 's TV page. Basically, his wife wanted it done since she doesn't "like the way they look when they're not". :mad: He witnessed it being done because she didn't want the baby to associate her voice with the pain, even though she ordered the pain. :mad: :mad: And he says it was a very tough thing to watch (How about goin' through it?). At least it wasn't the Damon Wayans "Daily Show" interview... :mad: :mad: :mad:

So he let his wife decide to mutilate his son, instead of fighting her, he agreed to stand and watch.

What a complete weenie.

Ron, thanks for bumping this to the right section, my bad. The studio they are based out of is somewhere on FallCreek rd in Indianapolis, IN. I could look it up again if you want.

Everybody who sent one, thanks for sending some emails! Everybody that didn't, well I hope you at least write your elected officials or will go protest with us... :(
