About

Here at buttwhack.com, our main interest is in our collective struggle as human beings to make good choices.

As much as we’d like to rest easy in our superiority to other life forms, truth is we’re a race of ups and downs, with the downs often regarded as negative and worthy only of forgetting.

We disagree. What we collect here is the idiosyncratic nature of being human in all of its unglamorous truth. buttwhack.com is a showcase of these things. Only through facing our deficiencies will we be able to overcome our capacity to ignore them. We’re talking about evolution here.

So, should you find such audio, video, still image or commentary that speaks to this or just have something you’d like to say about it, please think of us and - send us your links and ideas and we’ll post them in your honor, anonymously if you wish.

Thanks, buttwhack.
