Michael Chabon Uncut

Michael Chabon, author of The Yiddish Policemen’s Union and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, speaks out against circumcision in his forthcoming book, Manhood for Amateurs. In this memoir, the Pulitzer-winner writes, "Mutilation [is] the only honest name for this raw act that my wife and I have twice invited men with knives to come into our house and perform, in the presence of all our friends and family, with a nice buffet and Weekend Cake from Just Desserts…We have been through all of the standard arguments — hygiene, cancer prevention, psychological fitness, the Zero Mostel tradition . . . and found they are all debatable at best." This all sounds convincing, but I suspect the real reason Chabon is anti-circumcision is because he watched Heeb‘s promotional video one too many times.

What do you think?

    I’ve always loved this video. Bonus for me is the NLTD box ad on the comp screen too. Great job.
