Anti-booty camp for teen boys addicted to porn

http://now.msn.com/now/0618-porn-camp

On the surface, Utah's Oxbow Academy looks like your standard-issue boot camp, but it's actually more of an anti-booty camp. The self-described "residential treatment facility" tries to break boys ages 13 through 17 of their online porn addiction with lie detector tests, a house ban on phones and computers, and hours of therapy. For the privilege of living army-style, enrollees pay nearly $9,000 a month. The director likens porn addiction to heroin addiction, explaining he saw one boy who "got the shakes, like a drug abuser." The boys spend their free time doing chores (idle hands are the devil's playground) and probably trying to avoid double entendres.

No doubt, they probably push the meme that hair will grow on their palms too

I should think teenage boys being aroused by porn is about as normal as you can get..

Hey, at $9000 a month, it's all about creating a problem in order to make some money..

I could set up a camp with internet access and tell the kids to go hog wild but at the end they'll get a diploma and I'll tell their parents they're cured.

100% success rate!

/also teach them to lock the door.

Shit, 20 enrollees for the summer and it's vacations and start-ups the rest of the year!

I really need to get into the business of preying on people's insecurities... there's a fortune there!

Like fucking money manufacturing machines. Verrrrrry lucrative business. Like the pet rock, except you don't even have to sell them a rock.
