It seems that New York Times writer Patrick Healy has a big fascination with the word "penis." He uses it over and over and over again in his article about how actor Will Ferrell exposes a projected penis on stage in his play, "You're Welcome, America. A Final Night With George W. Bush." The New York Times must be really desperate if they have to resort to "penis" overuse to get their circulation numbers up. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Healy's story conference with the Theater section editors resembled a certain scene from the movie, "Porky's." When reading Healy's penis article you might think he is also working for Hustler magazine as well as the Times:
So far six audience members have stormed out midperformance of the Broadway show “You’re Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush,” the comedian Will Ferrell’s lampooning of the 43rd president, according to those keeping count at the Cort Theater. But they haven’t been leaving after a particular Ferrell quip.
They’ve been standing up, instead, after the projection of a supersize photo on the backdrop of the stage. A photo of a penis. Specifically, as Mr. Ferrell (who plays President Bush) leads the audience to believe, the president’s penis. Except that’s not quite right.
“It’s an anonymous but age-appropriate public domain Internet penis,” said Adam McKay, the play’s director. “We went on the Web and got a penis.”

PING!
..ell ya shudda contacted Barney Frank he's got a few laying around....check with his "companion"
really desperate if they have to resort to overuse to get their member's circulation up.
Viva Viagra!!!
There, that ought to help them get a grip.
They should be able to handle it now.
"What's that red thing he's got?" she asked.
"That's his penis," matter-of-factly replied her mother.
"Oh," she replied. She thought for a moment and then added, "At school they say 'dick.'"
Just think, if it had been Clinton’s, they could have used 3D glasses and had the bend to the left show up.
This dufus is a comedian? Child, yes...comedian, no.
BTW, regarding the market segment NYT is going after with a penis picture, it’s worth noting that Screw Magazine went under some time ago, so their readers are available, but even moreso, the “Blade” group went under this last week, so all the homosexuals are free to change brands.
This was only a “small” part of the show!
Another nitwit alienating potential audience.
Will Ferrel is a penis. How did he ever get his gig? Fill in the blank.
They really are overboard, aren’t they? I know there has to be a Democratic Congressperson or Senator that is sickened by this behavior. It’s not even sane. How can these people sleep at night knowing that they are being defended by real crazies. I would be afraid to be in the same room with them as they seem so close to the edge. I know that sounds odd; but their behavior and hatred are so extreme.
Get over it, Bush has left the WH.
NYTimes circulation numbers are suffering from shrinkage. Significant shrinkage!!
I can never understand why this guy continues to get work. I seriously doubt if I’ve ever laughed at any of his stuff, which just seems junior high-level stupid.
Seems this would have been more appropriate for Bill Clinton.
Typical lib - no class, morals or maturity.
typical hollywood - trashing an American Hero while glorifying their own homosexual perversion
One more reason to hate Will Ferrell. I’ve never found him funny.
Only six of them left. Sounds to me like he's got his sophisticated, educated, nuanced, progressive New York audience pegged. Most of them apparently like pictures of penises. Who'da guessed.
“comedian Will Ferrell” = Oxymoron.
