If you think that it is childish and culturally insensitive to find it funny when people happen to have names that are peculiarly appropriate to their professional function, then I urge you not to read this article; because if you do, you will find out who the World Health Organisation has put in charge of publicising their new report on male circumcision, and you may find yourself tempted to inappropriate mirth.
The article he mentions?
BBC NEWS | Health | WHO agrees HIV circumcision plan:
Kevin De Cock, director of HIV/AIDS at the World Health Organization said: "The recommendations represent a significant step forward in HIV prevention."
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I mean, it's a damn fine scheme, and the science behind it is weird, but, still...
