    Question...

    How were the rabbits penises damaged?

    I'm not one of those animal rights activist types, but that's got to be crossing a line.......

    Is it just me

    Who is anticipating a new flood of porn stars with surgically augmented penii (?) which are SO long they're wrapped from their torso to their feet and could harpoon a whale without leaving their cabin?

    Side benefits

    Seems to me that a side benefit of this would be helping female to male gender reassignment surgery, otherwise known as an "addadictomy".

    I wondered about that as well? Did a scientist whack an animals nob badly? Just to see if it could be fixed again? That is just bad nature man!

    Not big enough?

    They're not going to implant rabbit tissue in disfunctional human male variable-volume gene delivery systems. What human male wants a rabbit-sized erection? I know, I know, rabbit tissue is only for rabbits. We're not talking about cross-species sex organ implantation, as silicone-filled acetate sacks are bad enough. "Breeding like rabbits" would take on a whole new meaning.

    My thoughts exactly.... you just know that it's only a matter of time before the v14GRA spammers learn of this and start marketing it. Closely followed by it being used to spread malware.
