Video: Boxer Juan Manuel Marquez Drinks His Own Urine

In a documentary for HBO, the professional boxer Juan Manuel Marquez—who apparently thinks he is in Waterworld—decides to gulp down a cup of his very own vitamin filled urine! I think that possibly he has been punched in the head a few to many times and believes that it is necessary to consume this. I just hope that he never becomes a Red Bull sponsor.

This guy's not alone, as Morarji Desai, the Prime Minister of India in the late '70s was a practitioner of "urine therapy", and I recall was asked about it in an interview on a national news program (by Barbara Walters, maybe) but yuchhh!
Ghandi did it too... there's a whole health movement devoted to drinking urine. Personally I think it is a sexual fetish that has been rationalized by dressing it up as a "health treatment", just like the enema fads that come and go. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Health movement, sexual fetish, whatever...Dude's CAH-RAY-ZEE! I don't even pee in the shower (and I hear a lot of people do that. Ugh. What's wrong w/ this world???)
"I don’t even pee in the shower (and I hear a lot of people do that. Ugh. What’s wrong w/ this world???)"
They are trying to conserve water and save the planet!
Now you say something
