Does AMD's "Megahertz Myth" page sow Fear, Uncertainty, or Doubt?
No, I think the word you're searching for is propaganda. And despite it's negative connotations, propaganda is simply, "An organization or plan for spreading a particular
doctrine or a system of principles.". So while all FUD is propaganda, not all propaganda is FUD.
You trivialize the issue. Male circumcision was originally promoted in the West as a deterrant to the "sin" of masturbastion. In such a Puritan society, it was an easy association to cleanliness. Muslims also promote female circumcision for much the same reasons. Neither case respects the humans rights of the victim. If saner minds prevailed, this were dangerous surgery would never be inflicted upon a newborn infant.

How I miss Boot in their heyday. Sigh..

And some old cultures (notabley the Greeks) would not accept circumcised males into thier games. (because the unsheathed glans offended them)

What's your IP? ;)
UNIX? They're probably not even circumcised! Savages!
Are not savages more likely to indulge in genital mutilation than civilized cultures? Or is this supposed to be irony?
