Most embarrassing study ever

Oh, dear Krishna, this is just too funny:
Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a leading state-run center, said its initial findings from a two-year study showed 60 percent of men in the financial capital Mumbai had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.

For a further 30 percent, the difference was at least 5 cm (two inches). A poor fit meant the prophylactics often didn't do the job they were bought for, and led to some tearing or slipping off during use.
Well, I guess it's not all that funny if you're an Indian guy with a tiny, tiny penis. But for the rest of us, comedy gold. And it gets even better:
The Times of India reported the ICMR survey had studied 1,400 men between 18-50 years of age in cities like Mumbai and New Delhi as well as in rural areas in a report. It entitled its story "Indian men don't measure up."
Insult, meet Injury. Do you get the feeling that there's at least one very angry, bitter female scientist behind this? Because I'm sort of picking up that vibe.
