US 'sex addict' sues over firing

BBC News, New York

A man in the US is suing IBM for $5m in a wrongful dismissal case after he was fired for visiting adult internet chat rooms while at work.

James Pacenza, 58, says he was addicted to online chat rooms and that IBM should have offered him sympathy and treatment instead of firing him. The Vietnam War veteran says he has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since 1969. He argues that he used the internet to control his psychological problems.

'Self-medicating'

Mr Pacenza says that seeing his best friend killed in action while they were on patrol in Vietnam in 1969 brought on his post-traumatic stress disorder. He says that his psychological problems have left him addicted to sex, especially adult internet chat rooms.

Should companies take a more sympathetic approach towards employees with addictions? Is sex addiction taken seriously? Are you an addict - what is your experience?

My response:
I suppose it depends on the situation. Was he talking to other dudes or to hot babes? If it was hot babes then he totally has a case, but watching your buddy die in combat shouldn't turn you gay. Also, if he was taking pictures of his wang then I totally understand.

Child Molesters Get a Bad Rap

Someone says the words "child molester" these days and everyone gets all upset and wants to leave town. Every child molester is a pedophile, but is every pedophile really a child "molester"? "Molester" makes it sound like the guy doesn't have any game and has to throw himself all over these children just to get a piece. I'm sure these kids aren't just giving it up, it takes some finesse to get your hands down those elastic waistband pants and up those onesies. Take John Karr for example, Karr told a Thai officer that he had "sex" with JonBenet, who was 6, before her death but "there was no penetration." This is a guy who takes a child's fragile body into consideration. Good for him.

Comics Sans will be the death of me

Oh, Friday

I thought long and hard about slipping away into the bathroom and taking a nap on the toilet at work today. A nice half hour snooze would really make a difference in my 9.5 hours of daily suffering. The gentle hum of the fan, the dim lighting, it would really do the trick. The obvious question comes to mind, what if I get caught? My first option, which is foolproof in any situation, is to cry. Nobody wants to deal with, let alone yell at, someone who is crying. Especially a coworker, especially with his pants down, especially on the toilet. If I couldn't find the tears in time my next option would be to play dead. This is much more difficult because once I am started by someone coming in the bathroom and finding me sleeping on the toilet, it would be difficult to regain my composure. The composure of the dead that is. If I do succeed the consequences of playing dead in my office would probably be much worse than just falling asleep on the toilet. Not worth it. There is also the chance of falling asleep with my head in my crotch and from first glance it could look like I'm trying to suck my own dick, at work, on the toilet. The ol' blumpkin in the office gag is a good way to get fired. On second thought I think I'll just get some coffee.

Rapex

Rapex is an anti rape condom created to instill women with a sense of confidence when going out and about on the town. The device is inserted into the vagina by a woman who feels she is at risk of rape, and if she is attacked, small burr-like teeth will attach themselves to the tip of the rapist's erect penis. It is only possible to remove the device surgically. Holy shit. Please keep in mind the device does not actually prevent a woman from getting raped, the man has to be inside her in order for the product to be effective. Eventhough Rapex is considered one of the best ideas of 2005 by The New York Times, it doesn't seem like the most practical antirape product.

I find it highly unlikely any woman would use this product, if she did I imagine the scenario going something like this:

"Are you ladies ready to go out get wasted, and have sex with something!?"
"Helllll yeah!"
"Hold on ladies, I need to place a rubber condom lined with spikes into my vagina so I don't get fucking raped tonight!"
"Good idea"

Chantel Cooper Director of Rape Crisis in Cape Town is concerned with a broader issue. "I am concerned that this device creates the idea that we should prepare our daughters and women to protect themselves from being raped as it is inevitable that this will happen in their lifetime and that it is OK to live in a state of constant fear. What foundation are we setting for the future of our children? What message does this send to our sons and to the men in our communities?"

I'm pretty sure the message is, if she doesn't want to have sex with you she will tell you in the form of a spike laced condom inside her vagina. Loud and clear.
