03/10/2008: ""Snip City" Indeed ..."

Looking for that perfect excuse to park it on the couch during the upcoming NCAA Men's Basketball tourney, otherwise known as "March Madness"? How about "I'm recovering from a vasectomy"?

The Oregon Urology Institute is running radio ads promoting the convenient timing of the tourney and the amount of recovery time associated with the typical vasectomy, usually 2 to 4 days.

"When March Madness approaches you need an excuse ... to stay at home in front of the big screen," the clinic's radio ad says. "Get your vasectomy at Oregon Urology Institute the day before the tournament starts. It's snip city."

The local station running the ads is trying to deal by providing a home care of pizza and frozen peas. Not creative enough to understand the purpose of the peas?

"The frozen peas are malleable enough that you can get them right in there and get the swelling down."
