On Sunday,
a basketball player was hit in the testes. This is not a new phenomenon. Athletes, be they professionals or amateurs, have been getting hit in the nuts since the dawn of time, and America has been publicly laughing about it at least since Bob Saget first hosted
Ow! My Balls! America's Funniest Home Videos. At some point, though, saying someone got hit in the balls didn't sound that funny any more. Was the market over-saturated? Possibly. Were balls not funny anymore?
Unlikely. Was the idea of getting hit in the testes, a feeling any man knows and just the thought of which triggers a tightening of the taint region, scarier than it was funny? Hmmm... What do you do when you want to laugh at someone without questioning how you would feel in a similar circumstance? Enter Gawker Media.
