Crowe sorry for anti-circumcision tweets

Sat 11th June 2011

Russell Crowe went on an anti-circumcision tirade on Twitter late Thursday and early Friday morning (US time), later taking down his cutting Tweets and apologising for offending anyone.

"Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that GOD requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect," Crowe tweeted.

When a follower wrote, "There's actually a scientific reason for [circumcision], u should google it," Crowe replied: "My friend, 'human' science has caused too much damage, don't be a moron."

Another follower called the practice hygienic, and Crowe replied, "Hygienic? Why don't you sew up your ass then?"
Gets off to a good start, but then loses the plot a little, I reckon.

Crowe really does have a fuckwit side to him.

Being a helmet head as far as I am concerned Russell Crowe can go and get knotted.

Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson on a binge together, now that would be sure to bring about a few headlines.

I could forgive the atrocities of the monster called God without filicide.

Wow. Helmet head deesl4e? I think you're in denial that your parents took part in mutilating your genitals.

I for one intend to keep my foreskin. I've become very attached to it over the years .

As for a scientific reason for it, I guarantee a much more successful result with amputation of the penis but don't for a moment think that this would be justified. Condoms surely are a better solution.

I agree that Crowe could do significantly better with his arguments following the initial post.

Anyone with a foreskin think it would be a good thing to rid themselves of?

Anyone out there thinking of mutilating their children?

Indoctrinating children into religion without their informed adult consent is bad enough. Hacking bits off of them without their consent is also not good. How good an investment do you think that circumcision clinics for 18yo men would be?

Mick.
