"I like the way it looks," he said, listing his reasons. ..... I'm an idiot."

Well, that goes without saying

[Quilla]

Yep, pretty sthupid.

[isthisnickcool]

Wath ith the big deal? Dith ith suth a natural thing!

"Everybody wants to get it done. It could be the next mainstream thing aside from piercing," he said.

Good. It will lessen the competition in the job market.

[rattrap]

and four, I'm an idiot

Well... at least he's honest.

[onedoug]

Primitivism.

[So Cal Rocket]

"It's done to better yourself," he said, opening his mouth to wiggle each half like a snail waving its antennae.

I do believe the gentleman was misquoted. What he actually said was, "Ith done to bedder yourthelf".

[mountaineer]

"I like the way it looks," he said, listing his reasons. "Two, I think it will be more fun during oral sex and the girls will get a kick out of it. Three, everyone and their mother has their tongue pierced and four, I'm an idiot."

Or, one, I'm an idiot; two, I'm an idiot; three, I'm an idiot; and four, I'm an idiot.

[Kozak]

Sounds like surgery to me. They could prosecute the practitioners for violation of the local medical practice laws. although I really don't care, as long as they DON'T come rolling into my ER for their life threatening bleed, airway problem or infection. At that point the idiots will be comming to sue ME for the complications.

I saw a guy in the East Village with two "horns" on his forhead...yep, he had two small implants put in his forehead so it would look like he had horns. Freaky.

Ian, a 25-year-old New York tattoo artist, who had his tongue split as a form of body art, shows how it has healed on June 17, 2003. The latest trend among teens and twentysomethings who indulge in so-called extreme body modification, forking one's tongue like a serpent's 'is an art form,' said T.J. McGillis, who offers the service for a $250 charge.

But for believers in modification, a split tongue is merely a start. Split penises, sliced lengthwise in half, are not unheard of among aficionados.

This sounds like someing Mak Morford in SF would be into.

[mhking]

Imagine when you're 60 years old and you have your tongue like that.

Survey says.....

[Xenalyte]

Split penises, sliced lengthwise in half, are not unheard of among aficionados.

For the first time in my 34 years, I am speechless.

[Physicist]

After splitting his tongue, Emrys Yetz, 20, said it wasn't long before he could move each half independently and do party tricks like picking up pens and pencils.

I have to admit, that part is pretty cool.

[Billy_bob_bob]

What do you get when you have a "culture" that dedicates itself to denigrating, despising, deriding and degrading its own people and history? You end up with legions of young people competing among themselves to do ever more hideous things to their own bodies.

It is nothing more or less than self hatred made manifest. These people are taught to hate themselves with every TV show, every movie, every newspaper article, every class they take in the government brainwashing camps and every liberal teacher who takes them to task for their "privilege".

Eventually this self hatred and willingness to defile themselves will be turned outward. On that day Civil War Two will begin. God help us all.

[A CA Guy]

Those places are so clean, they can NEVER catch AIDS, right?
What did you say? Oh, .... Never mind!

[far sider]

But for believers in modification, a split tongue is merely a start. Split penises, sliced lengthwise in half, are not unheard of among aficionados.

Well, I guess it's better than slicing it in half the other way.

[ikka]

I think it is completely wrong. But then again I am almost for it - makes it far easier to tell who the idiots are.

[brewcrew]

Not quite the same as making a decision as to whether to part your hair on the side or down the middle, is it?

There's no "I don't like it, I'm going back to my old style" moment in these folks' future.

[beachn4fun]

why do people hate themselves or their bodies so much ?
