George R.R. Martin strongly prefers boobies to weenies, according to his brief chat with Clevver News at Comic-Con, an event he has been attending since 1987. Last year, South Park had portrayed the celebrated author as obsessed with the male genitalia, possibly due to certain explicit descriptions found in the Song of Ice and Fire books. When asked, Martin enthusiastically refuted the accuracy of the claim, stating it was a "scurrilous rumor" before cheerily explaining, "I have nothing against weenies. Weenies are fine, but I am not obsessed with weenies." The bluntness is certainly characteristic of 65-year-old Martin, who only recently offered a hearty "fuck you" to those speculating about his inevitable demise.
