"I suggest that they strive to perform an impossible sexual act upon themselves."

That almost sounds like an interesting challenge Don. I wonder if Brownhead Wankabout has ever done any yoga.. It does annoy me when people are so intent on being seen to be 'anti-racist' they see racism where there is none, make an undue fuss about it, and end up causing more than there was in the first place. As you say though, in this case it was just being used as a red herring and an attention grabber.
