None of that explains the scrotum correlation.

Like, I'm genuinely curious what possibly could be a funny joke that would link Greenwald to this OP. I can't see it from here.
I'd totally give that poster the benefit of the doubt, having seen posting history, quite apart from the avatar, but .... responses downthread actually reinforced it, which is probably not intended at all.

I can totally see where the objection came from. I cannot see where the Greenwald joke was going.

Hahahaha! An implied gay joke! How funny! last1standing Oct 2013 #20

No, an implied Balls joke. Greenwald lives in Brazil. And he's a guy. msanthrope Oct 2013 #23

Not even a good save. You posted a homophobic joke and now you're trying to justify it. last1standing Oct 2013 #33

No--in fact I said I wasn't posting the joke. But since you are offended, I will delete. msanthrope Oct 2013 #37

Your double entendre in this comment actually reinforces what may have originally been a AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #44

Thank you. nt msanthrope Oct 2013 #95

Anytime. You are being falsely accused on this thread, and I think it makes DU suck. MADem Oct 2013 #102
