Retro Disease Strikes Down Playboy Mansion Party Attendees
Posted February 12th, 2011
Remember two days ago when the domain industry was making mainstream news we could all be proud of? Today, the domain industry made mainstream news again as DomainFest Global attendees contracted a retro disease from what they believe was a fog machine during a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion.
The LA Times reports “Hugh Hefner’s legendary Playboy Mansion is the focus of a Los Angeles County Department of Public Health investigation after reports that dozens of visitors contracted a mysterious respiratory illness after attending a fund-raiser there earlier this month.” The Times goes on to explain “Many suspect their symptoms are related to Legionellosis, or Pontiac fever— a milder form of Legionnaires’ disease, which is caused by bacteria living in warm air-conditioning systems.
Many of those who became ill said they suspect a fog machine that was used at the party.”
Among those affected is David Castello, co-founder of Castello Cities Internet Network Inc who told The Times he is recovering from “fever, a dry cough, headaches and back spasms”.
NameSmash would like to wish everyone affected a speedy recovery.
