This Week's Winner-
Vancouver: A man identified only as DJW has been found guilty of negligence for performing a home circumcision on his four year-old son after reading the book of Christian author Richard Hoskins, who says such a rite is demanded by the Bible (which also has the answers for "all of the problems in society, including the number of abortions and homosexuals.") Telling his son that it would give him "extra special protection from God," the man performed the surgery using a non-sharp, non-sterile razor and a blood coagulant "meant for horses." Because it was cheaper than human coagulent. Bonus: In 2005, DJW home-circumsized himself, resulting in unstoppable bleeding and an infection of his penis.
