Ever since I read that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck indulged in anal action (I think it was when I was working at TCN), I’ve been fascinated by the spectre of colonic irrigation. I remember that scene in LA Story well – “Doesn’t it just clear our your mind?” bounces the hippy Californian. “Are you sure they put it in the right end?” asks the cynical Steve Martin.
For a while now it seems my flatmate has been thinking about the idea too and so I suggested with a smile that we go together – experience the thrill of a clean inner butt. However somehow she’s always been horrified by the idea of being in a clinic next to each other, with a pipe up our arses, listening to each other crap. I can’t quite understand why. Anyway – last night she returned home with news of an article she’d read which finally converted her – in the article a reporter and her photographer went to have extensive and rigorous internal cleaning. When the photographer heard a clunk in a bucket he knew it could only be one thing – the marble he’d swallowed twenty years earlier…
Today I see that Darren has linked to the article in question and now I’m back to being fascinated and appalled by the idea. What do you think? Should I do it? Full details would of course be posted on plasticbag.org.
