Heather from SF's comments reminds me that in the animal kingdom, there are plenty of instances where the male has the showy, flashy body structures (the bright red hairless butts of some primates, peacocks, etc) used for attracting mates. Humans aren't very consciously aware of our mate-attracting behaviors but we nonetheless do them.

The uniboob should be developed with a nipple that roves to and fro, Cylon style.

A nice man died and his mother is devastated. Set the timer and let's see how many jokes Katie can jam into one article! Fun!

I think you are being flippant here. A young man has died, a mother’s son. Women stick bags in their breasts all the time, they leak, the women die. Look to the pretence we can fuck with our bodies without consequences. Uncool post Katie.

Agree Clara T. Insensitive and is adding to my dismay at how Katie’s post go. Airhead comes to mind.

This is rather cruel and pointless, Katie.

I laughed and laughed. These ladies were not particularly disrespectful, just curious and confused, as you might expect. Also disarmingly funny. And charming. So thanks for that!

If you tea bag someone with those melons do you need a legal release before?

I truly wish that no woman will ever die from severe body-issues. On top of that personal horror, there will be Katie showing a pic of the deceased to her gay friends so they can make catty remarks. Yeech.

Is there truly nothing else going on in Seattle or the nation for Katie to write about?

If you give up your life so you can pretend to be a dog and walk around with a grapefruit sized nutsack in your shorts because it made your dick hard, you kind of are asking to be made fun of.

It's patently ridiculous. If you make yourself into a giant clown, people are probably going to laugh at you.

It's too bad that one of the best-reported, most nuanced and tasteful longform pieces The Stranger has published in years has been tainted by something as crass as this.

Dear Katie - It’s sad to see how a story about an abusive relationship could have degraded to this trash. You should be ashamed. Were this story about a woman, you’d call out the insensitivity to the victim.

You have disrespected victims of manipulation and abuse everywhere by distracting from the real issue. I hope the Stranger rethinks it’s stance in trivializing abuse because when it’s a woman you’ve just encouraged the world to find a reason to not believe her story.

Sad to see you piling on the nihilism bandwagon, Ms Herzog. Laugh at him in life, if you must, but laughing at him after death is punching downwards.
We all deserve better than this.

This is why you are the second most hated person at the stranger

That should actually read: Congratulations on achieving your goal of being the second most hated person at the stranger. Dan is fighting the good fight and taking on organizations with power and people hate him for it. You are just rabble-rousing your own community and that is not the same thing. Dan should be proud for the hate he receives, you should be ashamed. Fuck You.

Did you use a thermometer to tell EXACTLY how cold Jack's body was before polling a bunch of women about how they felt about the genitals of a gender they're not necessarily attracted to?

This is sideshow gawking at its worst and passed off as journalism.

@22 I find the comparison to Mudede to be nearly as bullshitty. She is more like Goldy or theodore gorath.

I can't help but wonder if the general public's revulsion at the grotesque, absurd, clownish nature of this kind of genital modification isn't part--perhaps the main part--of the turn-on for its practitioners.

Seriously. This is in incredibly poor taste. Let's laugh at a tragic death of a man who was in an abusive relationship.

THAT SURE IS FUCKING FUNNY ISN'T IT?

Jesus fucking christ. I'm wrong, this isn't in incredibly poor taste, it's FUCKING OFFENSIVE.

Would you be laughing and making jokes if this was a woman in an abusive relationship with a man who made her get massive breast implants? No, you fucking would not.
