Stone Roses Singer Says Masturbation was Assigned as Homework in School [VIDEO]

Since when does that have to be "assigned" to pre-teens?

Here's a WTF Wednesday for you!  A former school teacher and well-known English weatherman is on trial for allegedly indecently assaulting five boys. Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown says he and his classmates were shown gay pornography and assigned masturbation as homework by Fred Talbot.

Talbot taught biology and astronomy at Altrincham grammar school.  According to Brown, Talbot showed his first-year class a “gay porn film” and sent them home to masturbate. Brown told the court that:

“Mr Talbot asked all the class if any us had ever masturbated. We were 11-years-old at the time. He went on to explain how to masturbate, how you should masturbate. And the following lesson he asked us who had masturbated and who had come.”

The trial is still underway.
