Heartbroken Man Attemps Suicide In Morgue Freezer

This reminds me of the South Park episode Go God Go where Cartman freezes himself and it goes horribly wrong.

A Taiwan man grieving over the death of his girlfriend climbed inside a morgue freezer to be with her and was only pulled out alive half an hour later, media and an official said on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old man was discovered on Monday when workers detected an unusually high temperature in the freezer and realized the hatch was not securely fastened.

It’s funny how people who attempt suicide never think beforehand about what might cause them to fail.

The man took a drug before entering the freezer to speed what appeared to be suicide attempt, local papers said. They said his girlfriend died on Friday from an overdose of sleeping pills.

I guess he couldn’t get hard enough.

Japanese Civil Servant Earns Demotion For 780,000 Hits On Porn Sites

Do you think your obsession with porn is excessive? Don’t worry, there’s a guy out there who loves porn way more than you do.

A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months, an official said Friday.

This makes me wonder what kind of porn he’s into. Come on, 780,000 hits on porn sites over the course of 9 months just isn’t normal, there isn’t even enough normal porn to accommodate that kind of need. If I had to guess, I’d say this guy is into hentai, bestiality, scat, and midget porn all together.

Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen ($190) monthly pay cut, Waki said.

I wouldn’t be too upset with this monthly pay cut if I was him, it’s not like he pays for porn anyway.
