Sexy Magazine Drives Sperm Donor To Masturbate To Death
The family of a Chinese medical student who apparently masturbated to death has been denied over $800,000 in compensation from the sperm bank where he had a heart attack.
The Daily Mail reports that 23-year-old Zheng Gang was a frequent guest of the fertility clinic at Wuhan University, and had once made four visits in ten days to donate his sperm.
In February 2012, he died of a heart attack after “looking at a sexy magazine” in one of the clinic’s private booths.
The circumstances surrounding Gang’s death only surfaced after his family was recently denied a settlement from the university clinic. They claim that Gang was “pressured” into signing a contract that forced him to make regular donations the clinic, but a Chinese court has held that Zheng was capable of consenting to the frequent donations and was not under contract to do so.
Instead, Wuhan University has given Gang’s wife a $3,000 discount on her student bill.

Wales Man Doused in Gasoline, Left Blinded In One Eye Following Anti-gay Attack
A young Wales man was left blinded in one eye following a homophobic attack late Thursday, Wales Online reports
Tyler Maddick, 20, was walking home from downtown Swansea when someone in a car next to him called him “faggot” and threw gasoline in his face.
“Next thing I knew I’d got this liquid in my face. I ran home but I couldn’t call anyone because my phone had died.
“I washed it out as my eye was starting to burn up.”
Maddick went to the hospital the following day and was told that he had lost all vision in his left eye.
“To be fair I think I was more angry than anything. I’m quite a strong-minded person and it wasn’t so much that they had done it, it was the fact that they targeted me because if they can pick on me they can pick on anyone,” he said.
Police are continuing to investigate the anti-gay attack.

Bill Maher Announces Anti-gay Rep. John Kline (R-MN) As His 'Flip a District' Midterm Target: VIDEO
On a live taping of Real Time last night, Bill Maher announced Rep. John Kline (R-MN) as the “winner” of “Flip a District” – a mid-term election themed campaign segment that will see Maher personally target Kline for defeat this November.
As reasoning behind Kline’s pick, Maher noted Kline’s votes to repeal Obamacare fifty four times, against raising the minimum wage, for shutting down he government, against stem cell research, against gay marriage, against funding climate change studies, and his role as the Chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce in perpetuating student debt (a subject that fellow HBO host John Oliver has also tackled in the past)
Watch the announcement, AFTER THE JUMP…
Kline, who has served as Representative to the southern suburbs of the Twin Cities since 2003, has received a 0% on every Human Rights Campaign Congressional Scorecard since coming into office.

Best Tweets: What Women Said On Twitter This Week
The iPhone 6 was officially announced to the world this week and Internet pandemonium predictably followed. While all of the updated gadgets are very appealing, Veronica de Souza pointed out the iPhone 6’s best hypothetical feature: “The main difference between the iPhone 6 and the 6 plus is that the 6 plus makes it possible for you to go pee without getting up.” Ordering now.
Barbara Holm also hypothesized some magical new iPhone features: “The new I-Phone can tell you whether or not your parents really wanted you.” Wait, really?

I think the most uttered phrase in parking garages is, “F-ing Mini.”
