UnNews talk:Condoms 'too big' for African men
That makes absolutely no sense!
Why would they mesure it in millimeters? Its called standard because everybody uses it. At least in the USA.
It's pretty obvious dude. More importantly, this article took absolutely no effort, all the author did was cut and paste from BBC and change the racial group involved. I think uncyclopedia can do better.
- Hey, I went to the BBC looking for something to work with and I found that the top story at the time was this one, and I pointed out that the story could be copied straight over with only slight modification and it could be an UnNews article. I figured just copying it over was a bit too easy (this is done all the time on UnNews - just copy and replace a few words), so I also added the twist of a different group, an urban legend debunking, and so-forth.

I tried to fix the article to make it funnier, more satirical and less racist. Can somebody help me on fixing the title?203.131.167.26 05:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Racist? Someone has his panties in a bunch. Most of the article was the same statements made by the BBC and people that they interviewed, fancy that. It isn't racist in the least. 16:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
yeh the funnier idea is to say that whole situation is the result of a shipment of "too big" condoms that was destined for africa being delivered to india. somehow it would kick ass if we could work in a british businessman in there apologizing for "this monumental cock-up". yeh....
- This is a many-days-old UnNews article. Old news. 16:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. Not important. A satire article just isn't funny unless you put some twist on an article. The idea of finding out that your country is following behind on junk size is much funnier than a find-and-replace, at least in my opinion. It probably wasn't racist but I had determined that since the objective of the article obviously wasn't comedy it must have had racist intentions. I was wrong. Carry on, carry on.203.131.167.26 01:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Considering the joke requires a stereotype, it's, at the very least, stereotypical. --Smedricksman24 05:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
