Once in a while, ModBlog will scour the internets for the best and
brightest amateur piercers and sit down for a candid one-on-one with them.
Here’s one of these shining lights.
(Interview after the jump.)
BME: Before we begin, you’ll have to clarify: maybe my
vision is going, but I can’t tell from the video if you’re Steve-O or
Matthew McConaughey.
Video Fella: My name is Thomas.
BME: Steve-O, this video really had it all, from light
blood loss to creative sponge usage. How much time did you and the Jackass
crew spend on this masterpiece?
Thomas: We’re not Jackass. It only took about half an hour,
though.
BME: Now, looking at the video, I can count about four
different sets of grody frat-boy hands touching your face right around the
fresh, open piercing — none of which you seem to mind. What are some of
your other favorite ways to attract infections?
Thomas: I’m very healthy.
BME: Some of your friends can be heard to remark that
you’re “fucking tough” after the first pin is jabbed through your lip. Are
they also really impressed when the people at Dunkin’ Donuts get their
orders right?
Thomas: I don’t know.
BME: You look vaguely disappointed when you ask for a
potato — presumably to act as a cork and to catch the sharp end of the pin
in your mouth — and your friends come up empty handed. Do you regret
getting fucked up on Mezcal earlier in the day and shooting all of your
potatoes at each other out of PVC tubes?
Thomas: That didn’t happen. And the sponge worked just as
well.
BME: Clearly. And I see you used what looks like a band pin
for the second attempt. Let me guess: Nickelback.
Thomas: No.
BME: Creed.
Thomas: No.
BME: Puddle of Mudd.
Thomas: Yeah, actually.
BME: A-ha! See what I did there? I limited my guesswork to
a bunch of terrible bands that are associated with fan-bases that make
terrible decisions. You know, like getting pierced during a frat party with
a dirty tool by your meathead friends. Lastly, I see a Super Bowl XXVII
decal on the mirror in your house, a game in which the Buffalo Bills were
soundly defeated by the Dallas Cowboys; I imagine you’re a Buffalo fan. Does
this sort of haphazard infliction of unnecessary pain with potentially
lasting problems come along with rooting for the Bills?
Thomas: They’re a good team.
BME: Steve-O, thanks for taking the time to speak to us.
Thomas: Okay.

Wow. These videos…
Thomas seems pretty angry about the fact that no one will just ram that ring through his lip.
I also like the fact that at one point while he’s trying to push the ring through he’s also holding a cigarette! Talk about multi-talented!

Granted some people are dicks, but seriously this interview is a waste of my time. I miss the old and less insulting modblog. Bring back interesting features about worthwhile people in the mod community and not the latest youtube ‘star’.

Because we really want to come here, and see idiotic things we hear about all the time. Usually we come to see the brighter side… now for much darker days.

This is a really sad interview.
Why do you feel the need to attack someone based on their taste in music? What’s the next thing that will have authors taking needless jabs in interviews?
The dangers of the method of piercing is of course something that the educated community is informed about. How does making a mockery of some uninformed people help anyone? Are you more likely to take advice from someone who is telling you you’re an idiot, or from someone who isn’t judging you based on the level of education you have on the matter?
I really hope that BME being represented as some elitist club is some kind of mistake or misunderstanding. Maybe I’m wrong, and I’m missing something.

I had to stop watching after he asked for the sponge. I cringed. I really feel sorry for the poor bastard who can’t realize when he’s being made an ass of to his own face.

wow, what a terrible degrading sham of an interview. Sure, this guy was an idiot. He clearly realized that toward the end of the video. What was the point of being so rude and judgmental? In the old interviews, shannon might have sincerely asked this guy about his motives behind doing what he did, leaving himself open and receptive to any answer. That is, assuming he would even waste his time and ours with something like this. This blog used to be about support, understanding, and the free exchange of thought and opinion without judgment. Apparently now it’s about ridiculing people who make stupid decisions. Screw this, I’m sticking with bodytwo.

Clarification:
1. The “interview” is a parody. It’s not meant to be a true indictment of anybody in the video; the voice I affected as the “interviewer” was intended to be, well, kind of a dick.
2. These guys aren’t some hapless dupes that I’m picking on at random — they’re pretty clearly putting on a show in the video. They realize they’re being more than a little ridiculous, and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
3. Jokes that are only mildly funny to begin with get so much worse once they’re explained.
4. Potential future ModBlog entries will not be limited to YouTube videos — but chances are, any “interviews” attached to a YouTube post will likely be fake and included for light comic relief. It’s okay to be a body modification enthusiast *and* be able to laugh at some of the sillier bits of the culture. Really.

I couldn’t help but think about how MEAN that interview was. Yeah the guy is an idiot, but he must realize it. There was no need to shove it in his face like that. Honestly, do we need to get all high and mighty here because the guy doesn’t know as much as we do? Not everyone studies this stuff.

*sigh* they are morons. And I was truly hoping for a real interview. I’ll come back in another 2 weeks and see if this place is back up to par yet.

My question doesn’t have anything to do with this post in particular, really, it just makes me wonder what happened to those brief modblog posts on the histories and stories of olde when modification was finding it’s roots in polite society. Not only did I enjoy reading those, I would like to see more little excerpts of history on modification that the staff of BME find interesting..
That’s just my two cents.
cheers!

I agree with Stormy #4.
I miss the old modblog. new things in the modified community. good photography. good looking mods. ect ect.
this entry is pointless and degrading…and I’m pretty sure it’s not the image that BMEzine is trying to spread about the modified community.

wtf?
I hate kids like this.
seriously.
too cheap to fork out the money to get a qualified piercer to do it, I almost wish he’d done it and gotten sepsis.
