Keepin it Locked down

'Doctors at a New Hampshire hospital were left baffled when a man walked in with his testicles stuck in a padlock for two weeks. The man, from Brentwood, New Hampshire, says a friend fastened the padlock to his scrotum after a drinking session. Apparently he was too drunk to do anything and passed out. He later told police that when he woke up, the padlock was locked around the top of his scrotum. His friend was gone.The man tried to remove the padlock with a hacksaw after the key broke off inside the lock but without success.He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith was called to remove the lock. The man was treated and released without sustaining permanent injury."At this point we are not sure if it was a prank, or if it was an intentional act, or something done during a sexual act," said Corporal HD Wood IV. - Ananova.com' (http://www.iol.co.za, 2005)

How ridiculous is this? I go to this site for news about South Africa and get this inbetween other headlines, granted its laugh out loud kind of stuff, but really, who wants to read this kind of trash? If I wanted to I'd buy the Sun tabloid.
