Now, if that don't beat all...
I understand the White House is paying close attention the success of this lines of defense in this landmark Canadian case.

Penis size used as defence in trial
By TRACY MCLAUGHLIN, SPECIAL TO THE TORONTO SUN
NEWMARKET -- A Superior Court judge must decide whether to believe a 21-year-old accused who says he could not have committed a sexual assault because his penis is too big.
Mischa Beutling, a second-year engineering student at McMaster University in Hamilton, has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault on a friend who spent the night with him after partying at a Barrie bar during study week in February 2004.
Earlier in the trial, which has been in and out of court for months, a urologist testified that Beutling's penis is in the top 5% range for size in comparison to the doctor's other patients.
The urologist showed the court a plastic model of a penis approximating the accused's member at a semi-relaxed state, which measured 8 1/2 inches in length and 6 1/2 inches in girth.
He said a woman who has not given birth might have discomfort or tearing if she had intercourse with a penis that size, especially if she was not sexually aroused.
But Crown attorney Bhavna Bhangu scoffed at the account, noting that Beutling's reference to his size as a "two-by-four" is an exaggeration compared to the size of the plastic model.
"It's hardly a two-by-four," she said. She also noted that he has never actually measured himself.
Bhangu also said the "size theory" was never put to the complainant on the witness stand for her account.
Bhangu said the woman was traumatized when Beutling, who is 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds and who she believed was her close friend, forced himself on her.
Justice Margaret Eberhard must weigh the evidence, including the plastic model. A verdict is expected next month.

I can say from experience that it is not too big.
I'll gladly take the stand.

I was actually hired as a "consultant" on the case.
I'll gladly take the stand.
Yes, I think I'd be comfortable sitting on the stand as well.
Ugh, I know. 8 1/2 is NOT that huge. He needs to get over himself.
I love this part:
"Justice Margaret Eberhard must weigh the evidence, including the plastic model. A verdict is expected next month."
It said 8 1/2 at a "semi-relaxed state", so one can only imagine the fully erect size...
I can just imagine his popularity in prison should he be found guilty.
I'd like to see some evidence please...
And 8 1/2 is most definitely bigger than average--a LOT bigger...
Hmm, maybe I've just been lucky.
As a woman, I don't know whether to laugh or be completely appalled at this guy for using this defense.
lildogs, 8.5 is average around these parts........hehehe
Why do I keep seeing the scene from 'Sex in the City", when Samantha is trying to have sex with Mr. Too Big?
oh lord i can't stop laffing after reading this!!!!
tears are pouring down my face as i type this!!!!!
too friggin' funny!!!
kategrace, personally I'm laughing because unfortunately too much stupidity exists in the world for me waste energy on being appalled at this point.
I wonder if his parents were in court with him. Ew.
well... honestly, if it really is that big and there was no tearing or other such evidence, maybe he really didn't do it...
if the glove doesn't fit, you have to acquit!
The first time I was exposed to them, I asked my then "date" "Why do you need to clean your VCR at 2 am?"
lildogs....Palm Springs, but......you just brought back a BEAUTIFUL Puerto-Rican memory....sigh
The first time I was exposed to them the VCR hadn't been invented yet.
Never mind...
In a way, I miss those days too...adios mio! But I'm married to a Jewish guy and what they lack in length they make up for in girth and leverage.
Lildogs I'm married to an Italian so I am inclined to believe this guy's defense. From personal experience if she hadn't wanted it or if it happened at all without a little assistance she would be hurting!
lil and kel - that's a lot of information for me to process right now. my head is spinning!!
