The team was inspired after reading an awkward phrase on Michael Jordan's Wikipedia page about the fan debate over whether or not the movie Space Jam was canon without it specifying whether it was talking about the Looney Tunes series proper or Michael Jordan's life in general.

Considering that there are half-human, half-Vulcans (Spock being the most notable), and thus Vulcan and Terran genitalia are compatible, it's probable that they have roughly the same anatomical structures.

I don't think that necessarily follows. Given that they can interbreed, they must be more or less the same species, just with different organs and totally different blood chemistry...um...

Anyway, that doesn't mean the structures have to be the same. Assuming the male passes his sperm to the female (which seems a reasonable assumption), the shape of the delivery system and the shape of the receptacle could be quite different.

IIRC, the human penis is quite large compared to those of our primate relatives, though I'm not an expert in primate penises.

One of the novels (The Final Reflection by John Ford) tried to address this, with Spock being a 'genetic fusion' test-tube baby. It also tried to address the series/movie Klingon aesthetic disconnect by having all TOS Klingons also be human-Klingon 'fusions' created to engage humans because they'd be more relatable to humans and have more insight into them. It was a valiant effort and very influential behind the scenes of the shows, but it never really got canonified and was eventually extensively contradicted, which was a shame. I liked Ford's Klingons a lot, better than any of the show versions.

That article is wrong. Unova is not based on the US. It is based on a false racial memory of a second moon built by a race of hyper-evolved floating skulls in pre-history that then got blowed up by a munky. Then yadda yadda yadda aegirocassis yadda Pokemon.
