Well, this is obviously the strangest story of the day. Apparantly in the Czech Republic they allow asylum requests from Gay refugees who are fleeing countries that persecute the LGBT communities. However, they also are afraid that people will take advantage of that by pretending to be gay and as a result get a free citizenship in Prague, so they've devised an ingenius and foolproof test.
They decided to submit the refugees to a test by applying sensors to the Gay men's penis and show them straight porn. And if there's "any movement", then they fail and are denied asylum.
Now there's already been the obvious pointing out that there are many flaws in this test. First of all, maybe the person is bisexual. How do you prove they're not? They'd get it up for straight or gay porn. Secondly, how do you test women? Is there a moisture sensor? I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.
I'm not sure what's more ridiculous this week, the Czech Republic and their penis tests, or Sweden and their "Sex by surprise" charges against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, stating that the charges stemmed from a broken condom, and sex without a condom.
It's things like this that make me question whenever I think that America is getting to be the most screwed up country in the world, that perhaps we're not even charting.
