Reads like an extreme case of bros over hoes meets gynocentric societal white knighting, if ever I read one. While the presumed motivations are questionable, if I was the grooms father I'd have sabotaged the engagement as well. The betrothed is a middle aged spinster. There's absolutely no benefit for a middle aged man to be married to a female physician in the twilight of her child bearing years if they haven't had kids together already. Toss her back and get a younger model.

A German woman has been jailed for six months after she was convicted of poking holes in her partner’s condoms – without his knowledge – in a bid to “steal” his sperm.

The 39-year-old entered a “friends with benefits” arrangement with the 42-year-old man after meeting him online at the start of 2021, according to local media.

But, what began as a casual, sexual relationship changed when she began to develop deeper feelings for him – despite knowing he had no intention of entering a committed relationship.

It was then that, according to DW, she poked holes in the package of condoms he kept in his nightstand, hoping to get pregnant.

While her efforts were unsuccessful, she later told her partner that she believed she was pregnant and that she’d deliberately damaged his condoms, prompting him to press criminal charges against her.

If not for Russians I wouldn't know, people spend money on fake shit like that,

For around $340, actor Elijah Wood can record you a personalized video wishing you happy birthday. John McGinley, best known for his role in medical TV show Scrubs, will give you a lengthy pep talk for around $475. Priscilla Presley will record a clip talking about everything from Christmas shopping to Graceland for around $200.

At least seven seemingly unaware celebrities, including those listed above, have had their Cameo videos manipulated by pro-Russian actors to appear as if they are criticizing Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, according to new Microsoft research published today. The altered Cameo videos were shared on social media then heavily reported on by Russian government-owned or controlled newspapers and TV channels, the research says.
