I learnt something new on reality TV last night! We are currently coming to the end of this year's Celebrity Big Brother. If you aren't familiar with the concept of Big Brother, random people are locked in a house and have to try to get on for 3 weeks whilst being watched 24/7 by cameras. The Celebrity bit is where they chuck a few has beens (or never was) in the house and watch the fireworks go off.
This years celebrities consist of a Page 3 model who married a footballer, an ex-Eastenders actress, twin Playgirls (I can feel FD paying attention now ) an Irish underwear model, a gay dancer who claims he's straight, an ex-rapper (English) and a movie star who I'm sure many have heard of (but I hadn't) Michael Madsen (Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs) and random others.
I can't recall how the subject arose but they got on about circumsision. I thought it was only a religious thing, or on medical grounds, that males were circumsised. Apparantly not in the States, according to the Playgirls (Karissa and Kristina Shannon) who say that all men are circumsised. Michael confirmed that this is, indeed the case.
They were shocked that this is not the norm in the UK.
What is the reason that males are circumsised apart from religious and medical grounds? Isn't that mucking about with nature?
BTW they said they didn't know if Hugh Hefner was.
