Double Clicking the Mouse at Work

Only in Brazil. I love this country more and more everyday.

From Business Insider:
Brazilian Ana Catarian Bezerra suffers from a chemical imbalance that triggers severe anxiety and hyper sexuality. To cope she masturbates around 47 times a day, sometimes at the office.

When the accounting company she works for complained, Bezerra took them to court. And won.

Translated by Guanabee from Analitica:
After winning a court battle and seeking professional medical help, Ana is allowed to masturbate and watch porn — using her work's computer, no less — legally.

Carlos Howert, Ana's doctor, prescribes Ana with a "cocktail" (read: an entire medicine cabinet's worth) of tranquillizers. We're not sure how that "cocktail" doesn't knock Ana out (half a Claritin feels like an elephant tranquillizer to us), but thanks to Dr. Howert's concoction, Ana only has to masturbate around eighteen-times a day.
In most US companies, you get in trouble for simply looking at pictures of women in bikinis. I'm sure the rate of workplace violence would be cut in half if American organizations started instituting more relaxed policies like this. This is a groundbreaking court ruling. Ana, I'd like to shake your hand.

—I won't, of course. Maybe an elbow bump, but...
