Probably the final collapse of Western civilisation.

I've seen some reports of 'problems' that ER personnel have had to deal with, and by comparison this is pretty tame. The weird part (for me, at least) is that he felt compelled to tweet the details.Artemisia wrote:in the news today, a man live tweeted having to have a dildo extracted from his rectum...I'm not sure what to make of this one.
Also, Spidrift, If this level of experimentation (relative to the cultural standards in effect at the corresponding time and place) would lead to the 'collapse of civilization' there would never have been 'civilization'.
Annnnnd, if anyone reading this is not familiar with the concept of 'fisting' you may not want to read the following:
A child of 5 could understand this. Fetch me a child of 5.
If you can get to 50 without growing up, you don't have to.
There are very few personal problems which can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

Yeah, it's the Tweeting that makes me shake my head. The other stuff is merely ... not to my taste.
I remember a story that the writer and barrister John Mortimer once had to defend a book or magazine or something which had been hit by an obscenity prosecution. Part of the case against it was that it mentioned the idea of sticking things up one's bottom for fun, and the prosecutor argued that this was a weird, unnatural, and unheard-of idea. So Mortimer tracked down an Edwardian medical manual which listed various things that had required extraction in that long-off past time. I think it was the miniature bust of the Emperor Louis Napoleon that won him the case.
But Twitter?
