A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • Hey Fellas, Got a Genital Piercing? Have Some Money [UPDATED]


    UPDATE: Sorry everyone, the university has been overwhelmed with responses and needs a little while to sort them out! If they’re taking more applications, we’ll let you know.

    No, really, it seems that easy:

    The Department of Applied Health Science at Indiana University is conducting a research study designed to collect information on men’s sexual health and genital piercings. We are looking for men who have had their genitals pierced to participate in a phone interview that will be audio-recorded. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes and you will receive a $25 VISA gift card for completing the interview. In order to receive the gift card a name and mailing address is required.

    To be eligible for this study, you must be at least 18 years of age, speak and understand English, and have had your genitals pierced.

    If you are interested in participating please e-mail us with the following information at: xxxxxxxxx

    – Your first name, or name you prefer.

    – A phone number where you can be reached.

    – Several times over the next 5 days when you are available to talk on the phone privately.

    A member of the research team will call you to discuss the study.

    For questions please contact xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • BME and Facebook, Together at Last!


    Look at all those guys with their pants down at a tattoo convention (presumably) in Singapore that Bellboy sent in! One may think this is all fun and games BUT NO, they are all about to be affixed with the stone of shame because they haven’t signed up for the all-new BME News Facebook application! It’s literally as easy as pushing a button to join, and then you’ll have another way to view and share the articles you read here.

    Honestly? I was hesitant to join Facebook for a long time and will still reject almost every app request people send me (STOP THROWING SNOWBALLS, DAMN IT), but this is legitimately well designed and a pretty handy tool. Click here to add it to your profile.

    Oh what do you know, those guys at the top added it, too! Remove the stone of shame! Attach the stone of triumph!
