Does anyone remember the 'Florida Man' meme...?
Many of the MSM outlets caught on to social media's manner of guffaws and on a slow-news day, tried their own versions of
these funny dubious stories. What they didn't understand was that it originated as a mild insult towards the same established
publishing companies.
But like anything, it has to evolve.
Come on now, how many of us haven't thought to themselves 'Eh, that ass-itch is becoming annoying,
I'll have to go and purchase a streamlined object with a Floridian fragrance to assuage this abrade'?
Put your hands down.
Quote:'...Florida Man is an Internet meme, popularised in 2013, in which the phrase “Florida Man” is taken from various unrelated newsWikipedia:
articles describing people who hail from or live in Florida, and interpreted as the name of a fumbling superhero.
Internet users typically submit links to news stories and articles about unusual or strange crimes or events occurring in Florida,
particularly those where "Florida Man" is mentioned in the headline and has been wreaking havoc.
The meme calls attention to Florida's supposed notoriety for strange and unusual events...'

Quote:Bottle gobbled up by man’s anus when he ‘tried to scratch an itch’.Metro:
'A patient is recovering after his anus swallowed a bottle while he was trying to relieve an itch.
The man, 60, who is not being identified, insists that he was trying to scratch his anus when the
cologne bottle was gobbled up inside him.
He eventually went to hospital where he told doctors he had a pain in his abdomen.
They investigated and when they got to the bottom of it they found the two-inch wide bottle lodged
firmly up his posterior.
Gastroenterologist Dr Lin Jun, who carried out the anal surgery, released pictures from the hospital
in South China’s Guangdong Province as a warning to others not to do the same.
A probe found the base of the seven inch-long Florida Water cologne bottle around two inches inside
his anus. Dr Lin said: ‘The patient told me: “My abdomen hurts. There’s something inside.
I can’t poo or fart”.
‘The entire glass bottle was inside his rectum. I could feel the bottle under his abdomen. He said his
anus was itching. ‘He said: “I was very uncomfortable, so I bought a bottle of Florida Water and began
scratching the itch. ‘Then the bottle accidentally went up my rectum”.’
He added: ‘It’s better to seek medical attention and let a doctor help you than attempt to resolve similar
conditions by buying tools and such things.’ The patient is not expected to suffer any long-term effects
apart from embarrassment.
In August this year another patient had the same issue with the same brand of cologne.
They had to be anaesthetised from the waist down and a metal wire was used to hook onto the bottle
before it was pulled out...'
