It’s those stupid discs that are all the rage among brain-dead idiots like the one pictured - I see them in the high schools all the time, the kids are supposed to graduate to larger and larger discs until their ear lobes are completely stretched out. Unbelievably popular right now.
With that said, I could hardly stand to read this story —I thought maybe it was marijuana growers in the national parks trying to protect their stash, not idiots who think maiming or killing someone is the height of hilarity.
I walk on trails like that all the time with my dogs.
Time to arm myself and be extra careful.
They do/ did this in Borneo — plates-in-lips, larger and larger, until the lip is totally stretched out. NOT in sophisticated urban areas, needless to say.
