Apparently, men taking pictures of their balls on holiday is the new "hot dog legs".

 

These guys are ballsy, we’ll give them that.

It’s difficult to open your internet browser without being confronted by unsolicited images of male genitalia at the best of times, but a new photographic trend is making it dang near impossible.

It’s called “Nutscaping” and it is the art of including the base of your scrotum in an image of an otherwise immaculate landscape.

For example:

Like many things Australians adopt with gusto (such as pavlova or Russell Crowe), Nutscapes originated in New Zealand.

The founder of the Nutscapes website, a Mr Clancy Philbrick, recently defended the artistic integrity of the project on Mashable.

“I believe Nutscapes has great artistic depth because it touches upon both a low-brow vulgarity and a high-brow concept,” he said.

It did, after all, spawn the word “screlfie” (a hybrid of the words scrotum and selfie), which is an achievement of modern linguistics if nothing else.

“Simply, testes are f*cking funny,” he mansplained.

“They add humour to a subject matter, landscape photography, that is typically a little dry.

“The positioning of testes looming over these landscapes proposes a lot of interesting questions in regards to mankind versus nature, stewardship, environmental responsibility, future progeny and masculine vulnerability.”

What do you think? Is the guy nuts?
