2. Dear Men's News Daily...
If you're reading THIS post, I have a question:

Are there any advantages to microphallus? Like riding horseback a lot more comfortably than normally-endowed men?

There is a process that has to do with links in websites that affects how an item is ranked in Google. When there is a mass-linking, the rank goes up. That is why so many fringe publications (such as the one mentioned in your post) rank high in Google.
