ZitatThere are a lot of dangers associated with porn consumption, and now we need to add one more to the list: Your porn collection could kill you. According to a recent report at Asia Wire, a Japanese man was crushed to death when his massive collection of pornographic magazines fell on him.
The 50-year-old man's rotting corpse was discovered by his landlord, who entered his apartment to find out why the rent had not been paid for the past six months. The man, identified only by the name Joli, was found dead under a huge pile of X-rated magazines. (See pictures here.)
Details of the story come from a member of a cleaning team, who said his company was brought in to remove the magazines "discreetly" so that neighbors wouldn't notice. They apparently wanted to spare the man's family the shame of having the neighbors learn that their son was a porn hoarder.

Every space in the apartment was occupied by piles of pornographic magazines, the cleaner said. The man also collected clippings of some of his favorites. The entire collection weighted 13,228 lbs.
