Headline on accompanying YouTube video: Man Dies After Choking on Pot Baggie and Being Tased
The story is about a gay porn actor who resisted arrest and shoved a bag of marijuana in his mouth. Then when the police tased him for resisting arrest, he choked on the baggie. He died at the hospital. To top it all off, he was shooting a reality show at the time, so the whole thing was caught on tape, and is now being watched by millions on YouTube. His production company was called Zoo Productions and the whole sad episode happened in Florida.
Porn. Homosexuality. Drugs. Death. Police activity. Tasers. Reality shows. The internet.
I wonder what the deceased would have thought if he could have known he'd make such a spectacularly senseless exit.
