      I would have thought that someone who calls himself “FURZwängler” would have had a bit of humor…
      Obviously, you think that toilet humor is more refined than… underwear humor!

    Oh, come on! Stop being so stuffy. These sort of things have always been done. It’s meant to be comedy. Whether you find it funny or not, that’s a matter of taste. Personally, it made me smile.

    I don’t see a great deal of difference between this and Hoffnung using vacuum cleaners in the 1950s or Frank Zappa using bathtubs and bicycles in the 1960s.
