Circumcised Man Sues After Web Article Asserts He Has Foreskin

2008_12_seinmoy.jpg49-year-old John Singer of Queens is pissed about an article that appeared on the website of Centropa, a European oral-history project (tee-hee), wrongly claiming that he had not been circumcised. He's filed a lawsuit in Brooklyn Federal Court seeking unspecified damages, claiming that, "Centropa.org and its editorial staff have violated my right to privacy of the most intimate part of my anatomy. They have caused me tremendous emotional pain and suffering. I feel humiliated and betrayed." According to Singer, the article misquoted his mother as saying her two sons had not been circumcised. He says he told Centropa's director this was incorrect, and was assured "that this material regarding my genitalia would never be published," City Room reports. But it went online anyway, misleading the whole world into thinking that John F. Singer of Queens, New York totally has a foreskin. Image: From the Seinfeld episode The Bris

    The silly fellow is suing for the wrong reason. He should be suing for having been circumcised!

    What you don't have you don't miss.

    But I feel sorry for this dude for what his mom did to him for the sake of religion.

    Good thing he is suing, this is definitely something you don't want out there for people to read and know about in the public forums and blogs and such.
