[Filboid Studge] Thanks to the efforts of Anthony Comstock and others, that era regarded masturbation with the same affection as the McCarthy era regarded the Soviet Menace. Parents were frantic with fears that their children might take up masturbation, and so succumb to blindness, feeble-mindedness, and general debilitude and degeneracy. Is this attitude extinct? I shall perhaps believe it only when the Olympic Games include a Masturbation event. (And I'll bet it won't be sponsored by Kellogg's either.) What were those shrieks I just heard? -- Col. G. L.

Actually, I think this all is a subtle conspiracy to equate `masturbator' with `flake'. I suggest we look for signs of this new plot in the more conventional media. COMMUNICATIONS media, that is.
