Cuba offers free penis implants
CUBAN government has offered its first free penis implants, part of a program set to be expanded across the communist island, an official newspaper reported.
It is likely not what Karl Marx had in mind when he imagined a society transformed "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs," but Juventud Rebelde reported the silicon and silver penis implants are set to become more common.
Men in seven Cuban provinces will be eligible for the procedure, which urologist Juan Carlos Yip boasted was normally "exclusive to first world countries and at a high cost.
"It will be carried out in patients whose sexual suffering does not respond positively to traditional treatments."
Those over 40s and those with diabetes or circulation problems are set to be first in line the paper reported.

Since it's in Cuba, they could call it Castro-ation.

OMG. Is this why I am getting more and more junk mail offering me penile enlargement or Viagra tablets?I do however note there are no offers of a corresponding nature for women.No operations for firming up pelvic floor muscles or anything like that. I have to admit I am sitting here barely able to see through my tears of laughter to type.

Why was this story pulled so fast, Mark, after only appearing momentarily in Top Picks? We could have had some fun! Nor is it to be found anywhere else, including World news?
Not being prudish are we?
