      Scrotum.

      Not penis.

      Think Randy and all the South Park idiots bouncing around on their balls.

          I mean sure, but the comparison here would roughly be a parasite that causes a melon sized tumor on inside of one of your ovaries.

                I thought it was better than the sopranos. I would give my main gripe about the series but it involves a major spoiler for episode one.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.
