ppththththththththththththth! WHAT!?!

California, the "hippy" state, has a plan to get rid of obesity via... (brace yourself)... STERILIZATION of overweight men!

The idea is that if you deem clinically, obese men to be "inferior" (almost has a hint of "nazi" in it, right?), through sterilization (via a free state-sponsored vasectomy) you can eliminate their genetic influence on the "normal" human race.

Read it here.

What? You have a problem with that? Maybe they'll sterilize anyone who catches a cold? Think of all the money will be saved from unused sick days, healthcare, and orange juice.

Next, people who snort when they laugh. SNIP!!

Update: (2:33 PM)
Although I earlier gave it a quick "once over", to see if it was real, I now think the story is bogus. I'm still investigating.
  1. The domain's info on WHOIS points to: klaf.net, a news site. Also, the created on date is: Jan 2005.
  2. A google search of "Pacific Northwest Medical Journal" points to: brokennewz.com, a news satire site, where it's listed as an advertiser.

Look at the names of the "doctors" in the article, and then look at the staff page of Broken Newz.
