Man killed by 6 ton pr0n collection

[GagHalfrunt]

I assumed a company was hired to clean up his place and they charged by weight of the trash removed, so they were the ones that would have an incentive to weigh it.

And they would have an incentive to grossly over weigh it too.

I just did the rough math and at normal paper density 6 tons isn't really all that much. I can easily see a person amassing that much.

So 6 tons would roughly use 18 cubic yards of landfill space. A cube of about 7.86 feet each side.

Anyone seen Uhohs?

That's a sticky situation.

True, but the Japanese tend to be a very honest people.

That's a sticky situation.

That's not the way to get ahead in life.

Kudos to whoever build that house. 6 tons together with all the furniture. I assume this was not an apartment but a street level house.

True, but the Japanese tend to be a very honest people.

The people in Port Arthur and Pearl Harbor might disagree.

Said he wasn't found for 6 months but wouldn't 6 tons of anything falling over make the neighbors a bit curious?

A cube of paper 8 feet on all sides doesnt seem all that big for 6 tons

The guy had 6 tons of porn, the neighbors probably trained themselves to ignore any odd noises coming from his place.

That Viral Story About a Japanese Man Crushed to Death by His Porn Collection is Totally Fake

Did a man in Japan really get crushed to death by his porn collection? No. But you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise, thanks to this dumb game of Telephone we call The Internet.

“Porn really is bad for you!” the Daily Mail headline blares. “Lonely Japanese man who amassed a SIX-TON pile of dirty magazines died when it collapsed on top of him... and his body wasn’t found for six months.”

But almost nothing about that headline is correct. The Daily Mail seems to have taken a sad story of a man’s death in Japan and added a few lies to make it more sensational.

 

[mikeymikec]

The original story notes that many times people who live and die alone (known as “kodokushi” in Japan) aren’t found until bodily fluids leak through the floor onto tenants below.

This is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I'll think of this month. If that happened to me I think I'd have to spend a while in the shower Ace Ventura style.

Poor Shorty...we barely knew ye.

I also came here to mourn shorty.

 

[MrSquished]

According to this article, this is fake news. He wasn't crushed by anything, he just had a heart attack and fell on TOP of his porn collection.

But . . . but . . . He COULD have been crushed. Remember we live in a post-truth world of alternative facts.

well you can't bring your "pron collection" in hell. Might as well enjoy it here on earth.

Maybe his personal hell is to be next to the six tonne of porn and being able to touch them, or worse, jack off.
