Vulgar, disgusting - entirely inappropriate selection for an on air reading. "Traded his right arm for a larger penis", "tender touch on her nipples"... the author's breathy voice did nothing to elevate passage about woman using a detached arm for sexual satisfaction. At least that's what I think I heard, racing across my kitchen on a Sunday morning to rip the radio cord right out of the wall. Seriously NPR?
