The first Battle of the Bulge was the last major German offensive on the Western Front during World War II, in December-January of 1944. It was also the largest land battle the United States Army has fought to date. The historic battle has been the subject of numerous films and books, including the Battle of the Bulge made in 1965, starring Henry Fonda.
The second Battle of the Bulge is being fought entirely digitally. The new Superman, 26–year old Australian actor Brandon Routh is apparently … well, super-manly in a certain department down South. This worries studio Exec’s so much, they ordered to reduce the Bulge digitally.
Apparently, we’re still suffering from the wardrobe malfunction syndrome (isn’t it amazing there is an entry for this in Wikipedia?). The Rolling Stones gets censored, Superman (digitally) castrated, what’s next?
Update (3/9): Apparently other parts of the male anatomy need some flattening, too. This is getting scary. (hat tip: BL Ochman).
… and in some places chambermaids take care of the “flattening” (hat tip: Vinnie Mirchandani)
