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.

if it had been shannon that posted this, it may have worked. however, as you are virtually unknown faces to the majority of the community your first priority should be to establish some credibility with your members. people who we know are serious about the bodymod culture, ex. shannon, have all the liberty they want to poke fun at the occasional jackass who turns up. you however have done nothing to prove yourself to us and therefore should really be gearing your posts towards impressing us rather than trying for a cheap, pathetic laugh.

this really sucks. making such insulting interviews isn’t funny or interesting at all, and certainly not what modblbog is about..

I honestly want to know what happened to modblog.
Being someone that frequents the site but has yet to sign up for the I am services I think I’ve missed some things.
First of all what exactly happened to Shannon? Why is modblog getting less and less updates (And a few reposts that end up getting taken down)? Why do we all of a sudden have our comments checked over before being posted? And finally why is it silly things I can look up on youtube being put on modblog? I recommend this site first to people trying to get some decent information this just looks…. Well very unprofessional.
And even if it is a “joke,” a “parody,” or “sarcasm” it doesn’t change the fact that it looks bad for the site.
I miss frequent updates, I could post comments about right then, and decent posts/ interviews.

@ Kid D’xo: Perhaps if you knew half as much about “the bodymod culture” and Shannon as you presume to, you would know who Jordan is.

meh. it wasnt intended as serious journalism, perhaps…but if he did indeed talk to these asshats, representing himself as being ‘from bme’, i imagine the (already swiftly degrading) reputation of bmezine has been tainted, at least slightly. i think bme is a valuable resource to uninformed folks that might have otherwise gone the ‘gimme a potato’ approach…but if the general concensus is that someone from bme is going to make fun of you, fairly mercilessly…i think the emo kids with the shitty hair might not want to play as nice with us anymore.
on second thought, that might not be as much of a loss as i first surmised…

God, what a humourless bunch so many of these commenters are. Jordan, I got the joke STRAIGHT AWAY – no, I didn’t even have to have anyone explain it to me! – and it was funny. OMG! But then, I’m a pretty major fan of ripping into people who deserve it.
And to people like #54 “Kid D’xo” – you’re saying that Jordan is an unknown face in the community? Wow, you’ve certainly not paid any attention to any of the staff members or contributors to the site over the years, then, love. You might try opening your eyes and looking around, since you’re such a dead-set fan an’ that.

I like the Jaeger bottle sitting in the sink too. Maybe they used it for disinfectant and you’re being to harsh on them. BAhahahahah

I don’t like the promotion of this kind of idiocy in any way, even if it’s by showing people how douchetastic it is to engage in dirty and gross behavior for the sake of modification (and by ‘modification’ I mean ‘display of toughness’). So- gross, that’s not my understanding of what this community is about and I think it’s just making room for elitists and ignorance.
Re-post it and do a follow up when the kid finds out that he has hepatitis so we can extract some kind of useful message.

12 – I get it
63 – funny!
video – funny!

How most of you on here are willing to entertain images of people doing to themselfs what is closer to self harm than ‘modification’, yet unable to stand one instance of light humor!
seriously, go hang out in a coffee shop and listen to moody poetry while you discuss te downfall of the blog!! and while your there, lighten the fuck up. more seriouse and focused topics im sure are on there way…..

to anyone who finds this post humorous:
don’t ever get upset if someone makes fun of you for being pierced, tattooed, etc. you’re just as bad.

this place was actually tolerable for awhile there. this wont make it up, i know, so i might as well say this to you, roo…in attempting to silence the dissent, youre just making it clear that those currently running the show dont give a FUCK what the majority thinks on the matter. if you dont want other entries clogged with discussion about ‘other issues’ (or, as most would say, ‘the main issue’) then someone should post something here telling us WHY shannon has been removed from his duties. this is not nazi germany…or did i miss some kind of really stealthy time travel?

I was curious as to why the fantastic Roo post was to ‘lighten the mood’.
Now I see.
When does Modblog start writing for collegehumor.com?

Click here – Third post down, it’s not really necessary to read it as everything I said of importance is up there 🙂

Alyssa – It’s not my place to ask anyone to do anything, even if it were my place it wouldn’t be appropriate.
As I’ve said previously, leave it to the people directly involved. Hope you understand, that’s all I’m saying on the matter.
