I’m all for watching porn movies. I think that masturbation is a good thing. In my younger days I was know to enjoy having a drink or ten. And I’ve always liked to drive fine cars whenever I can. But combining all of those things at the same time can be a problem.

Or at least it was for Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin.

A lawsuit filed last week states that he was drunk and masturbating while watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he crashed into a parked Chevy Suburban back in March.

Somehow I know there’s going to be a big outcry and gnashing of teeth over how pornography and masturbation was the cause of the problem. Wrong! The problem was this guy doesn’t know how to manage his vices. You can do what you want to do, Eddie, but you can’t do them all at the same time with no regard to where you are or what else you’re doing.

This is a case of someone with bad impulse control, but I just know the PTB (powers that be) will find a way to gain some anti-porn/anti-sex points over it.

The accident was caught on the surveilance video of the Santana Foods store across the street. The video shows Griffin in the store pleading with witnesses to not call police saying, “I can’t go to jail.” It also shows Griffin admitting he is drunk and doesn’t have a driver’s license, and has him struggling for minutes to put on his sweatshirt and offering to buy a car for the man who’s SUV he crashed into in front of Santana Foods. The news site where I found the story has the video coded in a way that makes it hard to show to you here, but you can watch it on the page below if you want to see for yourself.
