We are doomed

A museum in England plans to sell replicas of a Roman one-inch gold phallus, which was discovered in a field two years ago.

Three-fourths of the story follows who-what-when-where of news writing. The final quarter, though, is completely amateurish.

The last two paragraphs exhibit ghastly writing.

(If I see someone wearing such a replica, I fear I might blurt “You have a little d!ck around your neck.” Of course, it’s all quite harmless. After all, Romans saw nothing wrong and only good in displaying phalluses throughout their society.

(The author of the article summed up everything quite in the modern scheme: “I think it’s a great idea and I love how cool they are about this.”

(Yes, the Romans were cool.)
