Disturbing Friday Fun: Afraid To Ask

Friday brings with it the guarantee of many things. An overblown pre-weekend night out, for example. Or the Jonathan Ross programme (and the inevitable tidal wave of self-loathing that comes with watching it).

It also brings you hecklerspray's Disturbing Friday Fun - a special-as-Moses weekly feature in which we provide you with a link to something downright unsettling. Quick word of warning: most of the Friday-based internet treats we provide are definitely not suitable for the workplace.

Especially this week, kids.

This week, we bring you the answer to Every Embarrassing Question You Could Ever Ask.

Well… as long as that question relates to a bizarre and upsetting medical condition, that is. Afraid To Ask features a comprehensive listing of doctor's advice on any ailment ye can imagine.

What's this? you ask. Has hecklerspray finally run out of ideas for this feature? This isn't really a disturbing idea at all. IT'S SIMPLY A MEDICAL DATABASE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! What insane lapse in standards is this? And to think that the Poptones record label considers you their favourite website! How dare you let us all down like this! HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!

To which we say: calm down. Afraid To Ask is different than most medical info sites because:

"…afraidtoask.com offers in-depth information and graphic photographs that will give you a better understanding of highly personal health issues."

That's right. This isn't grotesque voyeurism. It's simply so that you can use their sickening array of images in order to make yourself all wise and intelligent, like a magical glasses-wearing owl or something.

Oh, by the way… eating anything with mustard in it? Try to avoid the Gonorrhea section.
