Celeb Cum Fu

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 2:21 PM

I didn't buy the initial reports that David Carradine died from apparent autoerotic asphyxiation. I'd just assumed the man who stole the role of Kwai Chang Caine from Bruce Lee was the victim of a late-night ninja revenge attack, and that the death-by-jerking-it thing was a setup. After all, the first reports of the autoerotic angle came from the UK Sun (I think), which isn't the most reputable news source in the universe.

However, it appears that police are now publicly confirming that Carradine's death may have been wang-related:

Police Lt. Gen. Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha has told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals and another rope around his neck. He says it was unclear whether Carradine died of suicide, suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm..

Carradine was into grubby, offbeat sex for years - decades. When I heard he'd kicked in Thailand, I assumed he was there getting something that he couldn't get here.

So they know he had an orgasm? Man that really is embarrassing. Load of semen chilling on the floor. At least it wasn't that much of a failure. At least he came. I just did too.

I am kicking myself for not thinking of this headline earlier. Well played.

(though "kicking himself" is sorta how he went too)

I just hope that he felt no pain.

It was sweet just now watching Wolf Blitzer report on this ultra-important news from The Situation Room. The sound was off, which made it even better.

All things considered, death by orgasm is one of the better ways to go.

@8 reminds me of Eddie Izzards "Cake or Death": Do you want cancer or death by orgasm... umm I will take death by orgasm... gee we didnt think it would be so popular.

@2 That was my first thought too. It just seems salacious to die in Thailand.

This opens the Pandora's Box that is a porn remake of Flatliners starring older men.

Not funny. What did he do to you?

Posted by eclexia on June 5, 2009 at 6:47 PM

I just explained "autoerotic asphyxiation" to my parents. I feel emotionally injured.

Violet, that's about as awkward as the conversation that followed telling my friends about David carradines death, which involved revealing some kinky stuff I did with a woman about a year ago. I should learn the words "no comment" with those 2.
