  • No, a gay man did not just give birth to a child via his anus

    No, a gay man did not just give birth to a child via his anus

    A story about a gay man who gave birth after a receiving a “rectal-ovary transplant” is completely false and potentially damaging to the LGBT+ community.

    Hilarious… right? Because everything about gay men has to do with ass?

    The story, first published by satirical site, World News Daily Report stated that a gay couple in the US, celebrated the world’s first anal birth.

    Snopes.com has labeled the story as “Satire”.

    The story claimed, “James Bent, 37, received donated ovaries from his sister Leila Bent, 32, which were later successfully transplanted into his rectum and which enabled the anal birth to occur.”

    The article also, stated that “LGBTQ community worldwide has received the news of the rectal birth with open arms as the revolutionary medical procedure could enable millions of fertility-challenged couples to procreate”.

    Numerous people took to commenting on the site and on social media with homophobic comments.

    Who are the guys in the photo?

    The picture was taken from a completely unrelated story from six years ago. The couple, Frank Nelson and BJ Barone were photographed holding their newborn son, who was born via a surrogate mother.

    A friend of the men who actually appear in the photo that runs alongside the article said the article was a “violation of their privacy”. He added, “This is a photo of MY FRIENDS after their surrogate gave birth to their son 6 years ago. Completely fake news”

    Even though the site, markets itself as a satire website, the article and its formating does not mention that the whole story is a lie. It has been shared, as fact, by thousands of people.

    Decline

    World News Daily Report has seen its readership plummet in recent months according to SimilarWeb. In March the site logged over 2.34 million visits according to the SW statistics, the latest for August shows the number of visitors to the site at around 612,000.

  • Boston’s “Straight Pride” has raised only a fraction of its costs

    Boston’s “Straight Pride” has raised only a fraction of its costs

    Support for Boston’s so-called “straight pride” doesn’t seem to be going that well!

    The official fundraiser for Boston’s “straight pride”, which was created to celebrate heterosexuality in the US city has raised only a tiny proportion of its $5000 ask.

    After three days, and at the time of publishing, the group has raised just $364 or around 7.28% of its goal.

    The pride is due to take place in late August and has booked Milo Yiannopoulous, the openly gay author and former Brebait journalist to be its Grand Marshall.

    In a funder which is called “Permits cost money” organisers of the pride event, called “Super Happy Fun America” are asking supporters for $5000 to help cover the cost of putting on the non-LGBT+ pride event in the US city of Boston.

    According to the organisers, Super Happy Fun America, “advocates on behalf of the straight community in order to foster respect and awareness with people from all walks of life”.

    The pride event even has its own straight pride flag and is planning to raise the flag which is Blue and Pink with yellow Male and Female symbols interlinking in the middle.

    It will, apparently be raised over Boston City Hall after the parade, after which, organisers have promised speeches. The organisers have invited Mayor Martin J. Walsh to participate.

  • A man is ill after injecting SEMEN into his arm for 18 months

    Erm… Nope

    Now we’re not doctors but, surely injecting semen into any part of your body deserves a conversation that starts with “why” and ends in “nope”.

    An unnamed, 33-year-old man in Ireland is ill after injecting himself with his own semen for 18 months in order to treat his bad back. He had been using a hypodermic needle that he had bought online, according to reports.

    (C) Metro

    The patient has been left with cellulitis in his arm, after injecting himself once a month in a bid to rid himself of back pain.

    He went to a hospital due to his back pain and not the cellulitis which had developed in his arm. He was asked by medical staff what the red rash was on his arm when they were told the somewhat unorthodox medicine.

    Metro has reported that Dr Lisa Dunne reported the mishap in the Irish Medical Journal, writing, that this was the first ever case of‘semen injection for use as a medical treatment’ and apparently there have never been any tests to find out what the effects of injecting semen into veins or muscles.

    The man apparently then discharged himself from the hospital, before doctors had an opportunity to remove the bodily fluid.

  • What if all your favourite Christmas movies were Scottish?

    Well, thanks to BBC Scotland you can now get a glimpse of what your seasonal favourites would be like if they were Scottish.

    BBC Scotland just uploading a hilarious post on Twitter where they revoiced famous scenes from some of the world’s most enduring and favourite Christmas movies.

    Films like Home Alone, White Christmas and Nightmare Before Christmas were all redubbed with Scottish voices, using some very interesting Scottish words instead of the original scripts.

    In the reinvision version of Home Alone, Kevin is repeatedly called a “Dobber” which is a term for a dick according to Urban Dictionary. In the classic White Christmas the Bing Crosby and Vera-Ellen are redubbed to sing “I’m dreading it’s a shi*te Christmas”, instead of the original, “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas”.

    While Jack the Pumpkin King from Nightmare Before Christmas sang “I’m Pished, I’m Pished ah farted and it stunk” instead of “What’s this, what’s this!”

  • People want to know if male twins have exactly the same D size

    People want to know if male twins have exactly the same D size

    The internet is a place where you can find out almost anything.

    So there we were browsing Reddit when we came across a thread in which the OP was asking if identical male twins have exactly the same penis size. We couldn’t help but delve further. You know, for research purposes.

    Identical twins aren’t, despite the name actually identical. There is always a difference between the two siblings, a mole here and there, and even differing sex, it’s not common, but it does happen.

    According to Diffen.com, “Identical twins are monozygotic, meaning that they developed from the same fertilized egg, and so have nearly identical genetic code. They almost always have the same gender and many of the same physical characteristics (phenotypes). However, they may develop some genetic differences after the zygote splits, due to mutations in the DNA. So then, it goes without saying then surely, that dick sizes between brothers will be different – but not always, as user eliasedamasceno pointed out,I have one, and the answer is no”.

    Another person, Brian Kinney, who had gotten up close and personal with two brothers shared his experience, saying, “The two I played with did. One of them was slightly curved and the other one was straight, which means they had different wanking techniques, but they were the same size”.

    However, user OverEleven4U said that he had an identical brother (he passed away, unfortunately) “We were identical in dick size. I don’t know if that’s common or not, but that’s my two cents worth”

    Do you have experience with twins? Let us know in the comments below.

  • This is why you should DEFINITELY NOT use the kettle in your hotel room

    You might want to think again before downing a cup of packeted Nescafe…

    So apparently some totally gross people are using their hotel room’s kettle to boil their underwear. I mean WTF people.

    I mean WTF people.

    Now you might assume that boiling water kills off bacteria – but apparently, not all microbes and bacterium are killed off by simply boiling water.

    A senior lecturer in Molecular Biosciences at Massey University in Aukland, Dr Heather Hendrickson, spoke to Gizmodo to say that indeed, boiling your underwear in a kettle was just not cool.

    She said,

    “It is super super super super gross,”

    Apparently, some bacteria form spores that are highly immune to temperatures up to 120 Celsius and over a long period of time. Botulism causing Clostridium botulinum spores are a good example of this…

    That cheapy hotel kettle just isn’t going to cut it!

    She continued,

    “These don’t cause sickness if they are consumed, but their presence in certain environments can encourage them to produce a toxin that can be deadly.”

    People… please don’t use your kettle to boil your undies – use the laundry service – that’s what it’s there for.

  • Guy covers himself in Mentos and jumps in bath of coke

    It has to be seen to be believed.

    So, do you remember those experiments where they put Mentos in a bottle of diet coke and the whole thing explodes in a frothy climax – very much like us whilst listen to Bette Midler atop our unicorn. (Watch the original below) Well, this guy from Japan has tried the ultimate Mentos challenge.

    He starts by unwrapping hundreds of packets of Mentos, then covers his body with sellotape and plunges himself into the world’s smallest hot tub full of Coke Zero. However, the results aren’t exactly as expected.

    The clever bods at iflscience.com explain, “When the candy’s porous surface, gelatin, and gum arabic combined with the potassium benzoate, aspartame, and carbonation in the soda, the CO2 gets released incredibly rapidly, producing a tremendous amount of foam. When forced to go through the bottle’s narrow opening, this creates a huge geyser.”

    It’s been watched over 22 million times… Go on add a few more views. He needs to pay off the costs of his Coke Zero and Mentos.

    We’ve all seen those pics – probably shared over Grindr – the dick alongside the remote, the dick alongside the can of Coke etc. Well there is an entire thread on Reddit solely devoted to what guys with big dicks like to compare their equipment to. It’s quite enlighting.

    These guys share their favourite things:

    A can of Redbull

    Lining it up with what you’re about to penetrate – to see how far it will go in.

    Another Redditor explained that a long-distance crush sent a picture comparing his penis to a can of sunscreen and then sent a follow-up apologising for not sending one with a banana for scale. Firstly you have to commend his commitment to slip slop slap. Better to be safe than sorry.

  • Motorists are being baffled by clashing speed limits

    Motorists have been left baffled after council workers painted two conflicting speed restrictions on the same road.

    • New restrictions are limiting speed limits to 20 mph across Edinburgh.

    • Around 80 per cent of Edinburgh’s road will have a limit of 20 mph.

    • Motorists caught speeding could be fined £100 and three penalty points.

    A controversial city-wide 20mph limit is set to be introduced across Edinburgh this year and some streets are already being painted with the new restriction.

    But on one road in Edinburgh, this has led to confusion with one side of the road saying the limit is 20mph and the other saying it is 30mph.

    Motorists have expressed their confusion on social media with one calling the situation “hilarious”.

    But council bosses have sought to reassure bemused drivers with the new limit set to come into force across much of the city a month from today on February 28.

    Similar signs have been spotted at the Leith Walk end of London Road.

    Accompanying the painted warnings will be traditional speed limit signs at the side of the road.

    The painted notifications of speed limits are part of a pioneering scheme to introduce 20mph limits across 80 per cent of Edinburgh’s roads.

    The initiative was rolled out in the city centre and rural west of Edinburgh last August to a groundswell of initial opposition – with a 2700 signature petition to get the decision reversed.

    AA spokesman Ian Crowder welcomed 20mph zones but only where “appropriate” – such as roads with schools.

    He said,

    “Most collisions occur in these types of streets and there’s a significant difference between hitting someone at 20mph, when there’s a good chance they’ll survive, and 30mph where there’s a good chance they’ll be killed.”

    But blanket 20mph zones across cities could be “counter-productive”, warns the motoring association.

    Mr Crowder added,

    “I would caution against putting 20mph limits across every street without good reason.
    “Drivers can become irritated by it. The majority of people respect 30mph limits but 20mph is quite slow and people can start to ignore them.”

    But subsequent city-wide consultations reported positive feedback – amid some remaining concerns around increased congestion, road safety and longer journey times.

    The scheme is the first of its kind in Scotland and is expected to be fully rolled-out by next January with £100 fines and three penalty points for drivers caught speeding.

    Key arterial routes are among the few that will retain 30 and 40mph limits.

    Bosses at Lothian Buses have previously warned the new limits could lead to higher fares and poorer services.

    A council spokesman explained the signs with the 30mph limit were for vehicles exiting onto the nearby Portobello Road while the 20mph is for those driving onto the residential street of Craigentinny Crescent.

    He said,

    “The 30mph road marking signifies the speed limit on Portobello Road on to which drivers exit.
    “This will be reinforced by an adjacent road sign signalling the end of the 20mph zone, which will be erected before the 20mph limit comes into force in this area on February 28.
    “The 20mph road marking refers to the 20mph speed limit on Craigentinny Crescent.”

  • Wanna feel old? Guess what turns 10 this year

    Wanna feel old? Guess what turns 10 this year

    I mean where has the time gone?

    By Chris Cunningham (Email (transferred from the English Wikipedia)) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
    Chris Crocker‘s epic Leave Britney Alone rant, which turned him into a viral sensation almost overnight, is going to be 10 years old this year. That means Britney’s epic public breakdown is also turning 10 this year. His video was in response to Britney Spears’ percieved public meltdown, which ended up with her shaving her head in public.

    So what has Chris been up to since that video, which amassed millions of hits and countless memes and parodies, well, he’s apparently signed TV deals, appeared in gay porn and even released an EP.

    The 29-year-old star is from Bristol, Tennessee.

    The video was one of YouTube top 100 videos and had attracted over 200 million views before Chris deleted his account in 2015.

     

  • You won’t guess how many people shot off their penis since 2010

    You won’t guess how many people shot off their penis since 2010

    At least seven men in America have accidentally shot their penis with a handgun since 2010.

    The initial report from the website, deathandtaxes.com has suggested that five American men shot off their penis between 2010 to 2013 and we’ve managed to find another two reported cases where men accidentally put a bullet through their dicks.

    Usually from holstering their gun in their trousers.

    This is just a drop in the ocean to the number of self-inflicted gunshot wounds recorded in the US.

    In 2011 the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control released figures that suggested there were 73,883 non-fatal firearms injuries that year, 14,675 (19.86%) were unintentional. That same year there was, according to stats released by the CDC,  591 deaths due to “accidental discharge” and a further 248 due to “undetermined intent”.
