Strike One: You’re Malaysian. Strike Two: You have swine flu. Strike Three: You’re probably gay.

Dr V.M. Palaniappan, who has developed one of the strangest medical theories of the new century

The Malaysian government is pretty darn sure that homosexuality causes swine flu. 

Yes, you read that correctly. Malaysia’s government-run news service has carried an article by a Malaysian physician who claims homosexuality and masturbation make the body an easy target for swine flu.

Dr. V. M. Palaniappan, an eminent practitioner of complimentary therapy, claims the friction that develops during homosexual acts and masturbation causes the body to develop heat which results in the body becoming hyper-acidized.

“Thus,” according to the hypothesis, “the body becomes an easy target for H1N1 infection.”

The good news: According to his theory, sex between members of the opposite sex is absolutely safe.

Friction and all.
