Warning (I’m quite serious): If you are offended by stories about sexual activities, do not click this link. I’ve no idea how long this page will be up, since it’s obviously a spoof not sanctioned by CNN. But when a friend sent me the link, I didn’t immediately realize it was not real. The jokester […]
