Lawsuit of the Day

posted by on June 6 at 15:48 PM

Speaking of penises…

A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would not subside and caused him to be hospitalized.

The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it.

Woods’ court papers say he woke up the next morning “with an erection that would not subside” and sought treatment that day for the condition, called severe priapism.

They say Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another.

Full story can be found here. And a Google image search for “Winter shunt” turned up this:

That is just a lovely illustration. It looks like it came out of "Codex Seraphinianus." Personally I would ask them to cut the number of piercings in half by removing the blood and dumping it rather than reinjecting it. Not sure if that's practical though.

Shit, I would have called in sick and jerked off all day. I'm on so much medication I haven't had morning wood for a couple years.

Seriously though. They should settle. Hell, they should pay him for the free press. Every guy who hears about this is going to rush out and try the stuff.

Mr. Steinbacher, you are a sadist for posting that picture.

What wasn't mentioned is that he used the drink to down a handful of Viagra...it's like blaming Sominex for you being late to work after you shot up heroin the night before...

#11 - This is complete speculation...as is the idea that showing this image to someone suffering severe priapism might in fact be enough to make even the hardest penis grow limp.
