Kids, our year-end tradition continues for the fourth year. Deadspin publishes the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s database of emergency room visits and they always boggle the mind. There are some perennial faves, but always some new surprises. Like..
“SWALLOWED STAPLES BECAUSE ‘ALIENS TOLD HER TO’”
And the very unsexy,
“WAS HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH BOYFRIEND WHEN HE PUT PHONE AND MONEY IN VAGINA.”
And, you know, which of us has not been…
“AT A PARTY HAVING FUN WITH MALE FRIENDS WHEN ONE PUTS A SHOT GLASS UP YOUR RECTUM.”
