If you do not know who Tim Tebow is, get out from under your rock and turn on ESPN. He is the Heisman winning QB from Florida, who, if he wins the SEC championship game, will play in yet another national championship game. Huzzah for him.
Why do I fucking hate Tim Tebow?
He was recently on a missionary trip to the Philippines. That trip is bad enough in and of itself. People went for medical and dental care, yet had to sit through a religious spiel before getting treated. I consider that cruel and unusual punishment, but those people need the treatment, so any is good. But that wasn't enough for Mr. Tebow.
Deciding that he wanted to get more "hands on", he assisted doctors with circumcisions.
Think about that.
Tim Tebow, majoring in "family, youth and community sciences" (Whatever the hell that is. Science? Really?) took up a needle and thread (okay, sutures are subtly different) and sewed up freshly mutilated penises. I know that medical standards in the Philippines are more lax than here, but really?
The important point to me is the genital mutilation. If anyone tries to tell you that circumcision (male genital mutilation) is for any reason other than religious, you can feel free to safely ignore anything else they have to say.
If anyone tells you that circumcision (male genital mutilation) is different or better than the slicing off of the labia or clitoris of little girls, feel free to punch them in their throat, because it is the same thing. It is mutilating the genitals of a young child, an innocent who knows nothing but the pain.
Fuck you, Tim Tebow. I fucking hate you.

Just for clarification: there is one medical benefit of circumcision, a lessened risk of urinary tract infection, something on the order of 1 in 1000 versus 1 in 100, IIRC. Found that out after my newborn son had a UTI recently, but it wasn't enough to make me want to get the procedure done. Definitely agree with the rest of the post, however. :)
