It give’s me a sense of how much societal mores and norms have changed since my childhood* that this would appear as a filler, amusment item on our national CBC television and radio system.
It gives me hope that we may someday reach the point were we stop worrying about what consensual acts other adults get up to and focus on making the world a better place for all.
But in my wildest dreams I never would have thought that the path to a better society involved mayonnaise enemas.

I regret that mayonnaise has been wasted in the creation of art. I hope they used a cheap supermarket brand, not homemade mayo with extra virgin olive oil.
But it’s not until the fourth time that the mayonnaise enema routine because fucking hilarious.

@3 M’thew I hope they used a cheap supermarket brand, not homemade mayo with extra virgin olive oil.
Well, it doesn’t have to be extra virgin (and I’ll go as far as saying that it shouldn’t be: it’ll ruin the neutral taste and versatility, and is not particularly traditional), and with the right equipment it’s cheaper and quicker to make your own.
Also, homemade means that you can control what you squirt up your arse.

@11: sanitary control is stricter in mass production; homemade mayonnaise may taste better, but this is not an important factor in this case (unless there’s Act 2 of drama “2 Guys 1 Enema”). Many people have died of botulism caused by homemade sausages or canned mushrooms. In case of mayo, I’d beware of salmonella infection.

I love the way the “Fringe Festival reviewer” here is being very, very careful to stay hip, tolerant, and “fringe.” It’s not that she has a problem with the public performance of mayonnaise enemas, no. Of course not.
But it got boring.

It must be a terrible curse indeed to have such a powerful creative impulse and absolutely no talent.
Miracle Whip, definitely. At last they’ve found a use for it. It’s not like anyone in their right mind would put it on a sandwich.

Wait, when did Olive Oyl lose her virginity, and was Popeye popeyed due to the enema? I’m confused and disturbed.

Ah, so the performance was a success! It got everyone talking!

Hitler (or at least Nazi soldiers) didn’t like mayonnaise
Mr. Mayonnaise in the French Resistance
[Australian documentary filmmaker Philippe] Mora, 60, praised the bravery of his father and Marceau. ”Marceau told me this story about my dad being called Mr Mayonnaise in the French Resistance.”
His father, who had escaped from Germany after the book-burning, noticed German soldiers would never search sandwiches containing mayonnaise in case drips stained their uniforms.
So the Resistance wrapped the identity papers of Jewish children being smuggled over borders in greaseproof paper, smeared them with mayonnaise and inserted them into sandwiches

Oh, right. I remember that. Vegetarians have been getting Godwinned about as long as atheists.

By a process of elimination (! cf. the OP), it must have been his Berliners.
You heathens!
Mayo is a product of the devil.
It should not be consumed by devoted followers of the FSM such as you all. Then you compound your sins by bringing Miracle Whip, horseradish, and Hitler into the mix. This is too much.

This is just one theatrical production that attempts to get rid of some of that crap
Not nearly as successful as this one, though!
Difficult territory is a cornerstone of the visual arts – so artist Mikala Dwyer knew it would be confronting last night when she invited Balletlab dancers to empty their bowels as part of a performance at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.

I would imagine it would be a moving performance, but accessible only to those with great internal fibre. Upon evacuation at the end, the audience likely felt very relieved.
I understand that the show as performed was not Mikala Dwyer’s first idea. No, this was idea number two.

Well, not recently, but I figure the open sores and lesions are somewhat comparable. So I’m counting it.
Umm…my first time handling habaneros I made the mistake of using the bathroom without thoroughly washing my hands (i did wash, just not well enough to deal with the capsaicin). The act of pulling back the foreskin was enough contact with the oils to light things on fire, so to speak.

Okay, mayo was one thing, but this is beyond disgusting!
If extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise is used in an enema is it still extra virgin?
I see we’re already into the mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip debate. I think that counts as a Godwin.
