You may have read that there’s a possible outbreak of disease connected to the Playboy Mansion. If so, you probably had the same thoughts we did: a possible outbreak? Really? We're surprised the CDC doesn’t keep a lab on site!
But according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, this particular bug isn’t the below-the-belt kind; rather, it’s a nasty respiratory infection spread via mist from bacteria-laden water.
Which brings us to the grotto - that legendary, rock-lined soup flavored with rockers, athletes and porn stars. Who, besides everyone on Earth, could have imagined something gross could come from there?
Hugh Hefner was raised from the grave to Tweet the following: “Despite rumors, there is no real evidence that anyone got ill at the Playboy Mansion, but we're cooperating with health officials.”
But when nearly 200 attendees of the DOMAINfest Global Conference in Los Angeles came down with flu-like symptoms, the Health Department used its considerable powers of common sense to trace the origin back to a final-night fundraiser held at the famous Holmby Hills pad on February 3rd. They’ve even sent questionnaires to attendees asking specifically about the grotto (and another possible culprit: a fog machine on the dance floor).
Though the department won’t spill on what exactly they think it is until all the tests are in, the leading suspect is a type of Legionnaires' disease, possibly Pontiac Fever.
Do you think this will make the Mansion any less of a hot spot for the famous and infamous? Would you dare to step into the grotto now that it’s the subject of a health scare probe?
Count us out.

Pretend to like an old guy to get your career going? yea. Just calling it like I see it. They both use each other and obviously seem just fine doing it, so why the hell should you care? NYOB!
If there ever was a state that deserved to go belly up either fiscally or physically, it would have to be California.
People being people - Folk will probably steer clear on GP.
