Oklahoma Jackpot Winner Dies After Gold Plating His Testicles

Justin Reiter from Tulsa, Oklahoma , died of medical complications after attempting to gold plate his own genitals to celebrate an astonishing $598,556 jackpot win.

According to friends, the 27-year-old was enamored with the 2002 movie comedy Goldmember—an Austin Powers parody of the Bond movie Goldfinger in which Powers is hunting a criminal mastermind who colors his victims' man parts in gold.

Justin started by painting his genitals with a lead-based paint, but quickly decided that a simple coloring wasn't enough: he needed to take it to the next level, he needed the real gold. To complete the makeshift operation, Reiter used a professional automotive gold plater that he borrowed from a garage. Unfortunately in the twelve hours following the procedure, Justing encountered a series of health issues that ultimately led to his death.

Autopsy reports shows that the actual cause of death was lead-based paint poisoning.

Dr Ian Joseffson of the Oklahoma Community Hospital warns of a growing trend of wannabie gangsters attempt the “deadly operation”.

Sounds too much like an Onion story but it looks real  :zombiefuck:

In this day and age, nothing surprises me about people any more!   If real, sign that person up for a Darwin Award!

Agreed, but I don't think he is real.
