Dear Buggers,
I saw this article in a local paper, and wondered if you mugs at The Bug were doing your part to advance the cause:

SYDNEY, Australia— Young women in Australia and Sweden have a new cause: They want men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from hygene concerns – avoiding the spalsh factor-but as reported in The Spectator magazine, “more
crucially because a man standing up to urinate is deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading women”.
Frieda Nightanvil of Women Arise Australia is gathering pledges from young men to abstain from urinal use and recommends they pour fast drying cement in to urinals around Sydney during the Olympics.
"We are hoping this will draw the attention of the world’s media to this ongoing fascist symbol of subjugation. This will be the last generation of males who will employ such tactics of oppression as the urinal. But it will be a struggle with the Cave Man mentality that even today is the mindset of too many Australian males”.
Stockholm University is about to ban urinals on campus, and one Swedish elementary school has already removed them. Some Swedish women are pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year old Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on standing. “What can I do?” said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits.

Ingvar, you wussy, damn right you should be sitting, bucko. Fleas have bigger balls than you do (not that I have looked at fleas' wedding tackle. Well, not anymore).
What I don’t understand is how this Frieda Nightanvil of Women Arise Australia gets you Aussies to sign on to this insanity. I understand Dr. Dick of your staff is rumored in some quarters to have been one of the first to sign on, but I think this is just some more malicious gossip spread by your Kiwi rival, The Slug.
