Website Sells Pubic Lice
A British website called crabrevenge.com will help you prove that there is literally nothing you can't find online by selling you pubic lice. A disclaimer on the site says the creators "do not endorse giving people lice," and the lice are for "novelty purposes only." The company also boasts about a facility "where we do all of our parasite husbandry and carefully considered selective breeding." Three different packages are available: "Green package - One colony that can lay as many as 30 eggs for about $20. Blue package - Three colonies to share with your friends or freeze a batch or two for about $35. Red package - A vial of 'shampoo-resistant F-strain crabs' which can take up to two weeks to kill for about $52."
Everyone i know shaves so I don't see how effective this would be.
They are breeding resistant strains of lice. Does this count as parasite warfare?
I'm not the pope, but I'm going to have to put "intentionally giving people crabs" in the unethical column.
But fun and rewarding? Totally different column.
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
That's just wrong on so many levels. I can see kids buying these and then using them to pick on other school kids they don't like. Such as putting them in some kid's underwear when he/she is showering after the gym class.
This type of item used as a gag gift could have serious consequences for the recipient. If it's a student who is the recipient, then schools kick them out until they're free and clear. Parents may miss work to be home with student. Lice spread easily.
There is absolutely nothing good from this. /facepalm
Life takes interesting turns, but the most interest is when you're off the beaten path.
I'll stick to the old way of getting crabs.
Hookers.
in Soviet Russia, do pubic lice sell websites?
They tried that, but found that the market just wasn't very profitable. Then they moved on to selling bulk emailing services, and found that it made a lot more money.
Agreed: It's a lousy story.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
"Thank you SO much you saved my marridge! My wife broke it off with her new lover because she thought he gave her crabs, wish I had found this site sooner!"

Wow...just.... wow..
Willfully spreading a contagious illness (which this qualifies as) should be illegal.
I would say that creating ANY resistant, contagious disease should be considered a crime against humanity in general and should be rewarded with a swift death.
Contagious disease is a GREAT way to inflict misery on a lot of unintended and innocent victims.
Honestly, I can think of no worse or more dangerous crime.

Regulations. Laws. Common sense. Morality. A clue. The ability to live with being a hypocrite.
All of the things that "laissez-faire" economics usually figures the market will resolve for itself, and yet is completely incapable of fixing -- because it assumes benign, rational humans who make good choices, and an underlying mechanism where things like murder for hire, arms dealers, bioterrorists, and asshats can't happen. It totally ignores human nature, and the fact that people aren't always nice, and don't always give a shit about the welfare of others.
This is the logical result of laissez-faire capitalism -- basically, anarchy. Only in anarchy, someone's ability to hunt you down and kill you regulates the system. As soon as you have any concept of law, to not think you need to apply that to your economic system is just plain stupid. Because someone is going to try to fuck someone else over.
You simply can't be a strict laisez-faire guy and believe that you have any right to shut this kind of thing down -- well, I guess you could hire someone to kill them, but that might be a little extreme.
Everyone likes to think this so called "free market" is inherently moral and will arrive at "good" and "just" decisions, when in fact, it's inherently amoral. It doesn't give a shit -- if people are willing to pay for it, it must be inherently good.
Shave on one side. Douse the other side with lighter fluid. Light the fluid and stab the crabs with a tooth pick when they run to the other side.
I'm not the pope, but I'm going to have to put "intentionally giving people crabs" in the unethical column.
Since when is the Pope an authority on ethics?
I'm tellin' ya, this country it going to hell in a handbasket. Buying crabs? Sheesh. In my day we got our crabs for free at a Grateful Dead show.
Now, get off my lawn.
This ain't rocket surgery.
Holy shit! You mean, that wasn't a "to do" list?

So is the prohibition on divorce, pre-martial sex and birth control...
Well, that sure explains why the Crusades were all the rage back when Popes ruled the world...
