This one still gives me a chuckle.

Woman Pleasures Herself While Driving A Mini, Crashes Into A Van posted:

A driver has been left red-faced after she crashed her Mini into the back of a van - while pleasuring herself.

The anonymous woman, who was stuck in traffic at the time, got a jolt from the blue when her car suddenly lurched forwards and hit the M&J Seafood van in front of her.

Described as “fit” and in her 30s, the woman swapped details after the accident - but it wasn’t until van bosses checked the footage from the camera at the back of the vehicle that they noticed what caused the crash.

The woman had been using a sex toy on herself, possibly to alleviate the boredom of traffic.

A source told Gloucestershire Echo that the van driver was worried about getting the sack as the accident happened on his first ever shift for the company.

They said: “The bosses told him it wasn’t his fault and then said ‘Have you seen this?’.

“He was like 'what the ****’.

“They all had a good laugh. Apparently the lady was pretty fit.”

Despite a lot of requests, M&J Seafood are refusing to release the video, saying the matter was in the hands of their insurers.

Wonder if they have policies that cover for what that woman was up to…

So, remember that shithead Shkreli, who jacked an anti-parasitic drug's price by 5500% a few months ago?

At this point I'm finding myself thinking that he did all this for some hosed up e-fame reasons. Everyone knows who he is now, he's a BIG NAME even if everyone knows who he is because he's a massive loving turd of a person.

There are still lines that you're not supposed to cross, though. He's preemptively torpedoed a lot of business because his name is so toxic for PR. That will probably fade eventually, but so will whatever benefit he hoped to eke out of this whole deal.


It's not a completely terrible plan, because starting up production is fairly expensive. No one is going to invest a bunch of money to get in a price-cutting war for a moderately overpriced orphan drug. If he had been smart enough to charge $75 instead of $750 his company would have been safely lost in the crowd of drug companies doing the same thing, but he got too greedy and burned himself.

What Fortune 500 company is going to want to announce they just hired Cocklord Megahitler right after he blew a huge wad of money on an acquisition that he made unprofitable after a couple months and will probably ultimately lose money on? He managed to gently caress up easy money (again, this is a completely by the books play--the company he bought the drug from had done the exact same thing a couple years back, but they only hiked the price to $13.50.)

The real schadenfreude is that modern wealth inequality is so staggeringly high that there are people who can piss away literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home stereo without giving a poo poo about the fact that it's all pure marketing hype.

The irony in this post is that, years ago, the Razor-style mini-scooters were also crazy-popular holiday gifts, and also caused shitloads of injuries and falls when people got out and used them for the first time:

Example:

Obviously, scooters had been around forever but the razors were way more unstable as they were initially hyped for tricks and whatnot. Nowadays they seem pretty ubiquitous for kids.

The best part: everybody is dealing with it well except the two women (fourth and third from the right) who immediately buckle and flop like they didn't expect gravity. The rest of the people handle it well, but those two women just ruin it for everybody. Seriously, the fourth from the right didn't even try to adjust before she did a header into the ground.

The part that kills me is the end where the last three on the right end just hit the ground like potatoes.

Nope. He did not deserve to be tasered at all and it's hosed up you think he does just based on his retarded beliefs. He was no threat, and tasers are meant as an alternative to shooting someone with a gun. I hope the guy tasering him got fired because using a weapon on someone because they annoy you is, well pretty expected from US law enforcement actually so he probably kept his job.

Were you talking about what I said specifically? People like to run really high watts for the simple sake of blowing huge clouds. Apparently they even have competitions or something. But higher watts does vape more juice faster, so hell if I know. I'm actually starting to get tired of mine after 3 months, without any craving to go back to cigarettes so I'm happy.
