Friends of Greg said today they’re visiting a park in Seoul all filled with statues of penises.

Naturally, Greg did not believe a word of it.

So they sent photos.

It’s the craziest thing! We approve, of course, but it’s still unbelievable. ROFL.

The proper name is Haeshindang Park

Penis Park in Seoul, Korea

HBO is considering giving sex-advice columnist Dan Savage his own TV show – how cool is that? We love Dan. He’s a hoot. The pilot is being produced now. Fingers crossed! There’s more at Salon:

‘The syndicated sex columnist writes that his series, which would also be titled “Savage Love,” “will focus on current events and cultural trends with sex as the filter.” And his approach to the show seem specially designed to fill the TV sex programming void: “I’m hoping to bring a new kind of conversation to TV about sex — an honest conversation, one that’s informed without being (too) wonky, funny without being (too) cruel, sexy without being (too) cheesy. Basically, my sex advice column — but on the teevee!”‘

Greg took some photos of lightening from his back yard a while ago. He was very pleased with the result, but I’m afraid it cannot quite measure up to this spectacular display seen from a Nebraska truck stop:

Watch and learn (as it’s probably the only safety video you ever will pay attention to).

HBO has a new comedy called Hung, about a teacher with a gigantic schlong who becomes a straight male escort to make ends meet. It seems to be well worth a look.

Greg found this extremely amusing.

There’s news that the Shady Lady, one of Nevada’s legal brothels, is looking to employ male prostitutes.

“There are a lot of career-minded women out there who are looking for romance but not necessarily a relationship,” Shady Lady owner Bobbi Davis told FOX.

Other venues across the state also have inquired about adding men to the menu. But brothel industry lobbyist George Flint discourages the practice because he believes it is socially unacceptable – and he doubts it will have any effect on the bottom line.

Some Talibaptists in Idaho are worried that Internet porn is about to bring the collapse of civilization, or some such thing.

The home state of Senator Larry Craig doesn’t strike us as the very most auspicious locale for such a meeting. We wonder… Will they invite the esteemed former senator to participate? – he used to be such a strong champion of ‘family values’? And… Will there be misbehavior in the men’s room?

Trimming the Bush to make the Tree look taller! Here’s a fairly surprising little how-to video from Gilette:
