Well, this is weird. Brigham Young University's satellite campus in Idaho recently released a video urging students to report friends who are ... masturbating too much. And if that wasn't quite bizarre enough, the video also compares the self-love problem to warfare, the Daily Beast reports. The video centers around a guy who gets addicted to porn and stops going to church, as his roommates ignore the problem. That's when the war comparison comes in: The president of the university explains that this poor dude has been "wounded on the battlefield," as he is shown ... wounded, as a battle is waged around him. "The temptations of the great war are many," the president says. "Don't leave the wounded on the battlefield." That is, please report your self-pleasuring brethren.
