O is for OMG, A Disorder I Shouldn’t Laugh At (But Do)

This post first ran last summer, but it made me laugh so hard, I just had  to put it up again as my “O” for the A-Z Blog Challenge.

I celebrated our guys on Monday with 13 Groovy Man Facts. Now it’s time for the men to have another moment of sparkly fun (IYKWIM).

I first discovered this disorder when I was browsing Amazon, of course. I have to limit my time there because it’s too darn funny. Especially the Man Stuff.

I was actually looking at the “Also Bought Items” section of my Crazy Book #1 when I spotted:

How To Live With a Huge Penis – Advice, Meditations and Wisdom for Men Who Have Too Much ~ by Dr. Richard Jacob and Reverend Owen Thomas.

It would have taken a stronger person than either Hubby or I to not click on that link. We just HAD to check it out…the book garnered four star reviews.

Then we read Amazon’s books description and found out the real meaning of OMG:

Book Description Publication Date: February 1, 2009

Is Bigger Really Better?

Here at last is the first self-help book for men with Oversized Male Genitalia (OMG), a genetic birth defect that grows the penis to absurd proportions.

Every year, thousands of men are diagnosed with OMG. Sadly, most are banished to the fringes of society, victims of their own freakish length and girth. How to Live with a Huge Penis brings them an inspiring message of tolerance and hope—along with helpful information on

• Unzipping: Coming Out to Your Friends and Family
• Sharing Your Pain: Sexual Intercourse with a Huge Penis
• Big Blessings: Unexpected Advantages of a Huge Penis
• and much, much more

Complete with prayers (prayers??), poetry, a daily affirmations journal (Shut the front door!!), and thoughtful quotations from leading self-help experts, How to Live with a Huge Penis will inspire men of all shapes and sizes.

(Yep, our snickers started early in the book description and never stopped.)

There was no way I wasn’t going to share this with my posse here at More Cowbell. This is the blog about MORE, after all. And it seems that we’ve all been misusing the acronym, OMG, in a sad pitiful way.

Here’s a video to describe the book (and yes, it is quite suitable for work, as long as you don’t mind busting a gut laughing – the barbells were the final straw for me):

Had you heard of this disorder before now? Are you torn between feeling sorry for the “OMG sufferers” and laughing your guts out (like me)? Are you scratching your head wondering what would possess a reverend to write a book about OMG? Enquiring minds LOVE to know these things here at More Cowbell!
