According to the L.A. Time’s blog, attendees at a DomainFest fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion got Legionnaires’ disease from a dirty whirlpool tub in the mansion’s infamous fake cave hot tub sex grotto, known as the Grotto. While people getting sick really isn’t that funny, Internet movers and shakers getting sick at an event called DomainFest because they swam in dirty, hot cave water where lots of Bunnies have probably peed deserves a good chuckle. Though most of the article is a fairly sober report about bacterial disease and how they traced the spread with social media, this quote stands out as a mildly hilarious high point:
“A key clue was that 69 people got sick on the same day.”
Haha, 69. 69 people got sick because they sat in a disease ridden hot tub at the Playboy Mansion.
Also, according to the article, the disease is named after the first reported episode which occurred at an American Legion in Philadelphia, and does not have anything to do with the awesome 1998 Jean-Claude Van Damme film, Legionnaire.
