84,000 Hard Ons Raise Money For AIDS

Taking the fight against AIDS literally, German agency Philipp und Keuntje created an online game for AIDS organization Vergiss Aids nicht e.V (Don’t Forget AIDS). The game made it possible for players to combat the virus…with their cocks. Literally. Called Cockout, players where asked to don a condom and wave their member around. Penile movement was tracked by webcam which was translated into hits to opponents.

To insure men’s members where in the proper state to do battle, the game provided dancing strippers to help players “man up.” Once in a state of readiness, players could choose from one of three character; Master of Cock Fu, The Incredible Major Dick and Sir Dick-A-Lot.

Seriously.

Game scores could be shared on Facebook and clips, yes, clips of players waving their swords around were uploaded.

To recruit players, the agency went to an online location where member are freely and routinely displayed: Chat Roulette.

Apparently the campaign worked. The agency reports the campaign received seven figures worth of free publicity and garnered a 13 percent increase in donations to the cause.

84,000 players whipped it out during the first 24 hours of the game

I’m 73 and my husband leaves every surface destroyed when he cooks and then cleans it all afterward in one heroic effort — and I clean as I go and present a meal from a kitchen that looks like nobody used it — and we’ve been having the same argument about this for 44 years without realizing that it’s not about dishes, it’s about two fundamentally different philosophies of how to move through chaos, and the kitchen is just the room where the philosophies collide three times a day

Psychology says parents who feel their adult children don’t love them aren’t being dramatic — they’re detecting the difference between maintenance-level contact and genuine emotional investment, and that distinction becomes unbearable once you finally notice it

Psychologists explain that people who have to jiggle the door handle after locking it aren’t paranoid — they’re compensating for the fact that procedural memory doesn’t create the same confidence as episodic memory, which is why we trust what we just witnessed more than what we just did

The generation that was told they could have it all is now watching its childless members age into a healthcare system, inheritance framework, and social safety net that was built entirely around the assumption that everyone would have someone younger who cared enough to make the phone calls

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language

Psychology says people who grew up with very little affection don’t become cold — they become hyper-competent, because when love isn’t freely given, achievement becomes the only language they know for earning value
