I've got a small dick

It's been reported in teh news that I have a small penis. For many years, I thought this was mere tomfoolery on the part of slashdot 'trolls'. But now, after last night with Cmdr. Taco, I find that they are right. This is why I've booked passage to China, so that the famous Dr. Long can perform penile plastic surgery to improve my ... condition.

That is all.

Why a post may be hidden:
The Tampa IMC editorial collective, in order to maintain the integrity of the newswire and the media commons it creates for our community of participants, may "hide" posts to the Newswire when the content disregards the guidelines that have been put in place (see below). All hidden posts (exceptions noted below) must be notified to the collective mailing list so that all members of the collective have the chance to agree or disagree with the hiding of the post. If members of the editorial collective have a disagreement over a newswire post, or a feature selection, it will be dealt with via discussion towards consensus. If consensus is not reached within 48 hours a vote will be called within the editorial collective, requiring a 66% majority vote.

Articles that may be hidden, as long as the editorial collective is notified:

• Posts the author has requested hidden.
  
• Posts which are obviously incorrect or misleading. This includes attempts to spread dis-information or to impersonate another individual.
  
• Posts that incite violence against members of the community.
  
• Posts which publish identifying information without the individual's knowledge or consent.
  
• Posts which use language, imagery, or other forms of communication whose sole purpose is to promote racism, fascism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism, able-ism, ageism or any other form of discrimination.
  
• Persistent nuisance posts to the newswire or comments sections.
  
• Posts that are deemed to be devoid of content or analysis and appear to be published with the sole purpose of disruption.

Articles that may be hidden without notifying the rest of the editorial collective:

• Verbatim posts of other media without added content
  
• Unreadable formats (ie. photos posted as text).
  
• Posts titled "test."
  
• Duplicate posts.
  
• Advertising of products or for-profit services.
  
• Pornography, excepting sexually explicit satire.

The main problem with indymedia is that there's no real editorial control - anyone who wants to publish an article can do so. Here's proof :)

Frankovich says the children of survivors of Hurricane Andrew were recently asked to bring in their baby teeth when they fell out, for what was called the "Tooth Fairy Study." It was found that these children had radiation levels seven times higher than what is considered safe.
Frankovich lived directly behind the Metrozoo. While the zoo reported that only a few animals died, in reality 95% of them died in the storm. Rhesus monkeys and big apes wandered around the rubble with Frankovich and her fellow survivors. Only later did she learn that the animals were infected with the AIDS virus. It turns out that the University of Miami ran a research center on the back property of Metrozoo that no one was supposed to know about.

The Coast Guard Station was next door to the complex where Frankovich lived. A woman whose husband worked for the Coast Guard told Frankovich that the Coast Guard pulled 1,500 bodies out of the water. She said that everyone who worked on the body pick-up had to take an oath of secrecy not to discuss what they saw or did in the first ten days. When Frankovich spoke to a group in Clearwater about Hurricane Andrew, a man from the audience stood up and said that he was called up to active duty for nine weeks to help with the clean up. "The death figures the media is giving are totally inaccurate," he said. "The information I received is that 5,280 bodies were disposed of in incinerators."
