  9. Socially Fucked by cosm · · Score: 5, Funny

    Perhaps in the eyes of the overlords, or perhaps evolution, STDs are a "feature not a bug" situation, a form population control. Reducing numbers through the attempt to increase numbers. I wonder if we should start including a Trojan constant in our population growth and decay models. Combined with the social network clusterfuck, perhaps we need a digital vaccine. Hope your not allergic to PCillin.

    While on this line of thought, I would liken using Norton to wearing 8 condoms, all which having been poked with a needle, and Spybot Search & Destroy being the "Pull-Out" contraceptive method, and disconnecting from the internet altogether being like a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, we can't forget Live OneCare, which is like wrapping it with toilet paper, drinking a fifth of tequila, taking two viagras, and then wandering around Mexico City.

    What was my point again?

    I wholeheartedly agree.

    As a Slashdot reader, I feel I am uniquely situated to speak about abstinence, because unlike all those hypocritical politicians, I obviously practice what I preach. In my experience the best way to avoid getting gonorrhea is to live in your mother's basement and play World of Warcraft.

    There's only one thing you have to be careful about: you mustn't let your mother come down there. After a while you get pretty desperate.

    A guy catches a STD. He goes to MD and doc prescribes him "yogurt therapy" - he is to dip his dick into yogurt for 15 minutes twice a day and additionally, after every sexual intercourse. One day, he does a prostitute. After they are done, he sits on the edge of bed, pours a glass of yogurt and starts his procedure. She looks in disbelief and says: "You learn something new each day.
