File this one along with the fake-reality-show-turned-porn-site under the column of “Good idea in jokes bad idea in theory”: A man pretended to be a massage therapist specializing in the needs of the ladies. He then told the women that they needed some “internal massages” which as you might guess does not involve emotional comfort.

So maybe he’s not a bad looking guy and other women enjoyed his kitty prodding? That just seems kind of crazy. If my dentist was accused of humping people’s faces while they were passed out it wouldn’t matter how good a job he did of cleaning teeth I’d probably s
