Top US columnist Daniel Clark suggested global warming theories are
being concocted by metrosexuals in a dastardly plot against manly men,
this week.

"The latest point of emphasis in the global warming movement is that
cattle farming endangers the planet by producing too much methane. So
now, steaks and hamburgers are classified as instruments of destruction,
along with large vehicles, lawn mowers, and charcoal grills. It can't be
much longer before cowboy movies, cigars and hockey are held to be
enemies of the earth as well," he wrote in his heavily syndicated column.

"Wouldn't it be more plausible if a few items like styling gel, latte
makers and tofu were said to destroy the planet as well?"

The American writer urged real men to stop being 'namby-pamby rice cake
eaters' and offered poignant fashion tips for those worrying about how
to dress.

"Never is it manly to ask, 'Does this make my butt look big?' he
decreed, "Even if you want the answer to be yes."

In better news for retro males, scientists from the University of
Missouri said this week that men possessing the 'tenets of traditional
masculinity' tend to recover quicker from accidents, after studying accident
victims and their attitude to pain.

"For years, experts have said that the strong, silent male is not one
to ask for help when he's hurt, and therefore at a disadvantage when it
comes to getting better. But new research says this might not be
completely accurate," the report said.

"This masculine identity often associated with men in the armed forces
and other high-risk occupations may actually encourage and quicken a
man's recovery from serious injuries," the study suggested.

Voluntary Castrati Cut Down To Size

Three American fetishists who performed castration services in their
North Carolina dungeon to willing men received jail sentences this week
after pleading guilty to felony castration and maiming.

The three men had been remanded in jail since April last year when
prosecuting District Attorney Michael Bonfoey had spoke of his disgust at
their actions, telling Court TV 'we can't have people who are not
medical doctors lopping off limbs and other body parts.'

Superior Court Judge Dennis Winner clearly agreed, saying 'I think this
is a type of perversion that cannot be tolerated by society' as he
sentenced the trio.

In more mutilation news, a Polish man severed his manhood with a
six-inch knife last week, reportedly in a fit of drunken rage after being
dumped by his wife. Tadeus Konopizc, 40, later reconsidered and called
doctors though they were too late to re-attach his private parts, Ananova
said.

Also in Poland, local authorities were reported to be considering a ban
on 'men in skirts' to cope with hordes of Scotsmen marauding round the
country and frightening locals with their kilts.

"You can't go round the corner without seeing a Scot showing off what
he has under his kilt while one of his mates photographs him," said
Krakow resident Agnieska Gaspar, 23.

"I saw one lying in the gutter the other day with his kilt round his
waist. He was drunk, and it was freezing cold - I am surprised he did not
get frostbite," she complained (Ananova)
