What’s With All These Dick Stories?

BuzzFeed really REALLY claims it’s not about click-bait.

“BuzzFeed News,” as they are now calling it, insists upon its own seriousness. In fact, they’re trying to differentiate “BuzzFeed” from “BuzzFeed News” as a portion of the site is trying to claim its name is the latter as to not confuse it with the listicles (a word they forbid their staff to use), cat videos, homosexuality quizzes and “21 Ways To Support Someone Who Had a Miscarriage.”

So what’s with the wave of X-rated sex and penis stories?

BuzzFeed News recently covered the ass-eating scene on HBO’s “Girls” in the context of a bunch of gay guys claiming the act is something they invented — not those despicable straight people who are now doing it. [RELATED: Gay People Liked Rump Roast First, BuzzFeed Says]

This week BuzzFeed News (who are we not to call them what they want to be called?) is back with another eye-popping story about the phenomenon of the broken penis. It’s a listicle. The headline: “9 Important Facts You Should Know About Breaking Your Penis.”

A male D.C. journalist remarked, “The breaking dick article was terrifying.”

Indeed, it was. BuzzFeed News included an expected picture of a man screaming, another yelling OH MY GOD. Meanwhile, a urologist explains that yes, you really can have a “penile fracture.”  The most dangerous sexual position, reports BuzzFeed News, is cowgirl. Doggie style and anal can also apparently put your manhood at risk.

An excerpt:

“Even though big, rigid boners generally = good, they can also be more fragile. Overextension to the point of fracture is more common with longer penises, and super-strong erections could actually be damaged more when bent, says Paduch [the urologist]. In fact, injuries are less common in older men since they generally aren’t getting 100% erect, he says.”

But BuzzFeed News isn’t the only lefty penis-obsessed site right now. Lefty Blue Nation Review is also serving as a penis brigade with a story of a scary new fashion trend in which male models expose themselves. In fact, they did so during Paris Fashion Week. The writer says designer Rick Owens “made a ballsy move” with the cloaks cut just so.

You really don’t want to see this, but if you can’t help yourself, visit here. (Just remember to keep children, bosses and your grandmother away from your screen.)

Not to be left out in the penis journo craze is the left-wing Huffington Post.

Earlier this month, HuffPost ran a story about man who wrote an e-memoir. His claim to fame: He has two penises. The book is aptly titled Double Header: My Life With Two Penises. The author is bisexual and answers to — I am not making this up —  “DoubleDickDude” or DDD.

Just a few days ago, the site covered a snow penis that was demolished for being too offensive.

In previous years, HuffPost covered the man with the world’s largest penis, penis size as well as the “politics of the penis.”

To see what is happening on the other side of the political spectrum, I searched for penis stories on Breitbart News. The last one sprang up last October and involved a rapper who had chopped off his own ding dong. Just a day before that: A story on Ben Affleck claiming his junk looks better in 3-D.

The Weekly Standard‘s penis library was much more sparse. The last story directly involving one was in 2009 and the headline was: “Why Can’t a Girl Have a Penis?”

To be utterly fair, I looked up penis stories at The Daily Caller. (A quick note to Daily Caller editors: Please forgive me.) I must say, the mix of stories in this genre are more creative than any of the aforementioned publications.

The most recent example was 11 days ago and involves a Swedish kids cartoon showing penis and vagina to kids. Back in 2013, the pub covered Italian men wanting bigger penises.

All in all, 2013 and 2014 brought sporadic penis offerings like these: “Apple Sings Praise For Big, Black Penis,” and “Man Rips Off Part Of Penis After Eating Magic Mushrooms” and “Lovelorn Chinese Bachelor Cuts Off Penis, Bikes To Hospital.”

Back in 2012 there was even a politically related penis story:

“Jill Biden Accidentally Makes One Long Allusion To Joe Biden’s Penis.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
