Greenpeace: Ban Testicle-Restricting Burners

LONDON (Reuters) - Environmental pressure group Greenpeace called on the British government on Tuesday to ban large rubbish incinerators after a recent study linked them to delays in the sexual development of adolescents.

Greenpeace spokesman Mark Strutt told Reuters: ``The study found that teenagers living near the incinerators had smaller sexual organs than those in rural areas.

``The boys had significantly smaller testicles than their rural counterparts and the girls were developing later.''

There are 12 rubbish incinerators in Britain, mostly in large cities. Two are located in London.

Bodies of teenagers living close to similar burners in the Netherlands during the study were found to contain high levels of toxic chemicals thought to interfere with sexual development and already linked to cancer, heart disease and breathing illnesses.

Congratulations to Ken Starr, now he can get off the unemployment dole!

Since he doesn't have any testicles or penis, he was fascinated when he measured Clinton's unit. He will no doubt jump at the opportunity to explore the unseen regions of young boys.
