| G-Spot |
 Title text: The BBC lead was 'The elusive erogenous zone said to exist in some women may be a myth, say researchers who have hunted for it.' I couldn't read it with a straight face. |
Explanation
The G-Spot is, as the [BBC is quoted] of saying in the title text, an elusive erogenous zone some women claim to have that can be stimulated to enhance their sexual experience. In this comic, a live press conference has been held due to a peer-reviewed study suggesting the G-Spot may not exist. Cueball (the researcher) initially claims he's not researching the G-Spot, but then admits he can't find it anyway i.e. he has difficulty making his lover orgasm. Alternatively, he could be saying that, since he hasn't done research into it, he hasn't found any evidence for the existence of a G-Spot because he wasn't looking for it.
As mentioned in the Wikipedia article there actually has been such a study, so the BBC report in the title text is quite likely to have actually been heard by Randall.
Transcript
- A study published in the journal of sexual medicine suggests that the g-spot may not actually exist.
- We go live to the researchers' press conference:
- [Reporters, including Ponytail, stand below a Cueball at a podium.]
- Ponytail: Is it true you've been unable to find evidence that the g-spot exists?
- Cueball: My research is in solar cells. I think you have the wrong press conference.
- [Beat panel.]
- [Cueball hangs his head.]
- Cueball: But... yes.

Well, obviously nobody searched for it (the hypothetical article, that is), because I very easily found (ahem!) that exactly two days prior to the strip concerned the story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8439000.stm was posted. Title of "The G-spot 'doesn't appear to exist', say researchers", intro paragraph of "The elusive erogenous zone said to exist in some women may be a myth, say researchers who have hunted for it.". So that's at least one site that can be shown to exist. As for the other one... 31.111.35.144 00:05, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
