Could This Condom Save the Porn Industry? | The Informer | Los Angeles | Los Angeles News and Events | LA Weekly

http://m.laweekly.com/informer/2014/05/27/could-this-condom-save-the-porn-industry

A fisherman walks to his boat by the same route every morning at 4AM along the beach. On one of these mornings, something was different. He came across a woman with no arms and legs reposed on a towel sobbing gently. The fisherman, feeling distress to see a woman crying, walked up to the woman and said "Good morning ma'am, I couldn't help but notice you crying....are you ok?" To whcih the woman replied "I didn't mean to intrude on your day. I am crying because due to my condition which I was born into, I will be 30 in 3 days and have never been kissed." The fisherman promptly knelt down and kissed the woman passionately much to her suprise and delight, and then continued his walk to his boat. The next morning, upon the same walk, he came across the woman again, and once again she was crying. "Ma'am, what's wrong?" he asked. "In 2 days I will be 30, and due to my condition which I was born into, I have never felt the touch of a man upon my body." The fisherman promptly knelt down and caressed her body to the woman's great pleasure. The next day, walking briskly to work, the fisherman came across the same woman who was once again crying. The fisherman walked up and said "Lady, why are you crying now?" The woman hearing his tone decided to be direct. "I'm gonna be 30 tomorrow and I've never been fucked." So the fisherman promptly knelt down, picked her up, tossed her into the ocean and yelled "Yer fucked now!!"

The Untold Story Of What Happened At An Overcrowded West Virginia Jail After The Chemical Spill | ThinkProgress

'When roughly 10,000 gallons of chemicals leaked into a West Virginia watershed this January, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin declared a state of emergency. Officials shut down schools, deployed the National Guard, and rallied volunteers to bring water and support to the 300,000 people without potable water.

But in the state’s emergency response, there was one group that many forgot: the 429 prisoners locked in Charleston’s overcrowded jail, who were entirely dependent on the state to provide them clean water.'
