Cognitive elitism ... but at what cost?

Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a leading state-run center, said its initial findings from a two-year study showed 60 percent of men in the financial capital Mumbai had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.

For a further 30 percent, the difference was at least 5 cm (two inches).

From Reuters.

So how does the James Bond of Bangladesh cut such a deadly swathe through blonde California? Obviously not by stealing the delicious if brunette Lana Wood’s line from Diamonds Are Forever: “Hi, I’m Plenty ... Plenty O’Toole”.

But enough of that. This is a serious blog. So, erm ... would Phil Rushton agree that Nature’s dispensation of wedding tackle in downtown Mumbai runs counter to r-K?

Orgeon rather than California I believe. And he does so but only in his imagination.

You have eclectic taste in women Guessedworker!

She was Russian by the way.

Well, I wouldn’t have thrown her out of my hotel room window. Exceptionally fine shot, though it was. Of brunette actresses of that period I think Leslie Anne Down is my pick.

Quite. That was a waste considering the possibilities for the rest of the movie.

My choice among brunettes for that period is Claudia Cardinale. Caveat: I think she was part-Arab.

scrawny, geeky, four-eyed head neurotic

The sort of guy gorgeous women fantasise about.

I don’t think so. She might have been born in Tunisia but she’s usually in lists of famous pieds noirs. Most pieds noirs were, of course, in Algeria but Morocco and Tunisia had smaller numbers of European settlers as they were also French colonies. Pied noir marriages to the local Muslims were extremely rare so I’m guessing she’s fully European.

According to French tabloids Cardinale had an affair with Jacques Chirac. Clinton settled for Lewinsky. As usual the French show their class.

Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. I’d pick Marilyn over Claudia.

Does he google for ‘penis, small, India’ every morning?

No, somebody at Reuters - a Bangladeshi girl, I believe - does that so we don’t have to.

{i]Condom size can affect whether one is
used, so these agencies take note of penis size when they give out condoms. The World Health
Organization Guidelines specify a 49-mm-width condom for Asia, a 52-mm-width for North America and
Europe, and a 53-mm-width for Africa. China is now making its own condoms—49 mm.

(JP Rushton: ‘Race, Evolution and Behavior’)

When matters of life and death are involved, ‘size doesn’t matter’ is apt to go out of the window. Just as liberals who refuse to accept that IQ measures anything valid suddenly change their tune and quote a moronic murderer’s score—if it will convince a judge to spare him the gurney.

It may well be that, due to their African genetic inheritance, South India’s Tamils and Dalits fare better in the Rushtonesque world of penis measurement.

Some Indians are in denial about all this.

Posts like this are obviously due to the fear that “Majority Rights” bloggers and commentators have for Asian competition.

This fear is cowardly and unAmerican and unEnglish. Merit rules.

Rally around the flag and miscegenate; hybrids have the best loyalty to the country.

Yes, let’s destroy Britain in the name of not being “unEnglish”. No flaws in that reasoning. Perfectly sound, what?
