Breast ironing.  O_o

Just when you think you've heard it all.

Apparently the pool of human stupidity knows no depth.  What could possibly convince some cultures that it's a good thing to mutilate their women?

[Edit]

One good stupid deserves another.

His lawyer says he's a hero, rushing his injured wife to the hospital before she bled to death.

Why was she in danger of bleeding to death? It seems that this "hero" kicked her out of his truck when they were having a drunken fight, and then sped off when she reached back in to grab her cell phone. Her arm got caught, and he just drove until it tore off at the shoulder.

Living in a culture that routinely mutilates it's baby boys, I'm not sure I have a right to comment.

That came up in in the conversation when I was discussing this one with a co-worker. There's no denying that we have some bizarre and barbaric rituals of our own.

It was many years ago, and I can't remember if it was Dear Abby, or Ann Landers who got the letter, but it was from a fellow who wanted to know if there was any precedence for suing ones parents over having them circumcised as a baby. The columnist replied that she wasn't aware of any precedence for such a suit, but that if he succeeded, he should consider it "severance pay".
