Someone call Rod Stewart! Britain is facing a sperm donor shortage! The reversal of Britain’s confidentially laws in 2005 may to blame for the drop in sperm donation.

James Mischler decided to perform Dio’s Holy Diver last week at a Wisconsin Karaoke Bar. Of course, just like everyone else at Karaoke night, Mischler sucked. Unfortunately for Mischler, his performance so enraged Dio’s #1 Fan, fellow Karaoke Bar patron Kyle Drinkwine, that he decided to give Mischler a beat down for it.
