More than 100 men and women gathered in famously liberal San Francisco this weekend for what organizers said was the city's second annual public "Masturbate-a-Thon."

Organizers said they have taken the event "from the sheets to the streets," offering volunteers

[Dr.Deth]

Wouldn't that be Mastur Of Ceremonies?

[zarf]

Well, another taboo effectively put to rest.

Next is a public dump o' thon whereby human excrement will be brought to the fore and then prepared and served to the participants .

[THUNDER ROAD]

Was Jocelynn Elders the Master of Ceremonies?

No...she was the Master-Bater of ceremonies !

.....THUNDER......

[Gritty]

Please. Tell me this sorry was from The Onion.

Please!

[kitkat]

Why am I reminded of the fall of Rome?

[Old Professer]

This is where gay behavior begins.

Homosexuality is nothing but assisted-onanism anyway.

[The FRugitive]

Sorry, too late. That's now a protest method. It was used by anti-war demonstrators a month ago.

They needed something to top their "vomit-in" that occured the day before.

[livius]

How depressing.

Feminists have always been very enthusiastic about masturbation, mainly, I suspect, because they couldn't get anybody to do anything else with them anyway.

Why am I reminded of the fall of Rome?

I don't know about that, but I would look away, lest you be turned into a pillar of salt.

[Migraine]

"I am the Master of my Domain."

What's that, the Bates Hotel?

[TLBSHOW]

BUMP

[Migraine]

Just take youself in hand and pull yourself together

Yeah -- get a grip.

[mrsmith]

"Uh, we have rooms available Ms. Rodham... Ms Rodham?"

[Captain Peter Blood]

Hell, sounds like fun event and a good way for a shy, lonely guy to meet women or vice versa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Kalifornia has been masturbating for decades, it is a self taught thing from early age.

[breakem]

You really gotts hand it to these idiots. On second thought.............

[ohiobushman]

I hear the Mastur of ceremonies was "HARRY PALMS"!

[NYCVirago]

Organizers said they have taken the event "from the sheets to the streets," offering volunteers — 18 years or older — the opportunity to overcome their inhibitions in "a safe environment" and raise money for charity.

Why is having the good sense not to masturbate in public an inhibition which needs to be shed? Does this mean that the dirty old man in the trenchcoat is a good role model now?

[TheCrusader]

I didn't know that San Francisco was hosting the Olimpdicks this year.
