The Colonoscopy Channel – America Rulz!

Gaspar Torriero writes from Italy in response to my saying “showing people what I’d written but not revised made me feel as good as getting a rectal exam in a Macy’s store window.” (Nov. 15). (Count on Rageboy to have picked up on this particular image of mine. Sigh.) Gaspar writes:

You may will not believe this, but on Swiss television this Friday,
during the evening live medicine show, a guy from the public had a
colonoscopy in front of the cameras.
He seemed to enjoy the attention, being interviewed and all. Very nice
live video of his rectum and colon.

It is with great pride that I inform you that America is once again providing the world with the leadership it so desperately needs. A few months ago, Katie Couric, the cute-as-a-button co-anchor of the leading morning news talk show, broadcast her own colonoscopy. Her husband died of cancer, so this both Informed the Public and may have been some type of weird, psychological expiation.
