I'm seriously questioning the value of this article as wikipedia material. I think this page should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DNJH (talk • contribs) 18:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well, what a load of rubbish 58.169.224.91 (talk) 21:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. We can and do have articles on topics like Strategery, Truthiness, the Internets, and Don't touch my junk. That's part of the fun of it. Stonemason89 (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's the funniest Did You Know I've seen... brilliantly worded --Hermajesty21 (talk) 22:00, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, notability is established by the reliable sources cited. Unless anyone disagrees, I'm going to remove the notability tag. — Hun ter Ka hn 21:59, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is established? I fail to see how your logic works here. First this phrase has been said long before 9/11. Using "junk" to refer to genitals is fairly common slang. Just because a few people or articles used a word, in this case "junk" in connection with some topic, doesn't usurp that word or phrase's general meaning. This article is like an article that says "Keep the tip" and associating it with getting a takeaway pizza. I could probably find references where "keep the tip" is used in regards to ordering pizza, but the phrase has meaning outside of that narrow scope. Any phrase becomes "notable" under your thinking if a handful of authors use it in connection with some topic. You know what's junk? This article.
