It seems that you are most offended by the label so then label the circumsized 
one as circumsized and the other one as intact.

Within the bounds of NPOV, the English Wikipedia is first and foremost by and 
for the English speaking world (with an emphasis on the needs of native 
speakers - other languages have their own 'pedias, so this is only fair). It 
has already been noted that a large part of that world has very significant 
percentages of their male population with circumsized penises. So to not 
include a photo of circumsized penis while including one of an obviously 
intact penis is POV. 

But I see you moved both photos to [[circumcision]] while retaining the photo 
of an erect penis (which is, of course, more difficult to tell if it is 
circumcised or not). While not ideal, I can live with that since the 
comparison is more relevant to that article. 

>American men are far from being the majority of men on planet.

So they should be ignored then? Since when has Wikipedia been a place where 
only majority views are expressed?
