WebMD...not just for symptoms anymore!

So I was cruising around WedMD today trying to figure out if I had mono or not, when the Top 12 Health Topics for Men caught my eye.

They were:
1. Prostate Cancer (Understandable)
2. Weight Lifting (...k)
3. Chantix Warning (No clue what that is, but it sounds legitimate)
4. 'Cloverfield' Illness (...WHAT?!)
5. Male Enhancement (Of course)
6. Lose the Gut (Again, understandable)
7. Virtual Sex (LOL WHAT?!)
8. Soda Risk (When Dr. Pepper goes bad)
9. Heart Attack Symptoms (Very good to know)
10. Walnuts (They're killers! Really!)
11. Low Libido (Awwww)
12. Testosterone

I told this to one of my friends, and she said, "So clearly people only use WebMD for sex and ridiculously stupid problems."

Still intrigued, I clicked on the link to "Virtual Sex". I still can't decided if it's hilarious or awful. You'll have to be your own judge and decide.

AV Club, I love you. And not just because "Savage Love" is the only thing that makes me feel normal.

Success can be measured by many means: wealth, influence, power, whether or not you can make a convincing case for owning a particular letter of the alphabet. But the true measure of success is being able juxtapose your smiling, utterly breezy visage with a ridiculous, fear-mongering question in an advertisement for your unstoppably popular talk show.
