Another video of the great Alan Abel, who somehow blends Lenny Bruce and Allen Funt, in which he responded to an ad placed by a 1999 HBO show seeking men to discuss their genitalia. Abel presented himself as Bruce, a 57-year-old musician with a micro-penis. The hoaxer was ridiculing the early days of “reality TV,” in which soft-headed pseudo-documentaries were offered to the public by cynical producers who didn’t exactly worry about veracity. Things have gotten only dicier since, as much of our culture, including news, makes no attempt at objective truth, instead encouraging individuals to create the reality that comforts or flatters them. Language is NSFW.
