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.

One other thing I forgot in my last post, I never recall having to await moderation before my posts were shown before.
Maybe some of the worse things were deleted later, but I never recall moderation like this.

@ 100:
That’s possibly the best way to alienate a readership. Being condescending and derisive doesn’t bring people together (as the comments obviously show).
Roo – I’m sorry for all the crap comments you’re putting up with, I guess it just goes to show how fractured and disaffected the community has become.

The interview would have been funny….if it was actually funny.

…abuse of Nickelback, Creed, Puddle of Mudd…
You make that sound like a bad thing.

Well, I think making up a fake interview is taking the tongue-in-cheek, kinda snobby humor about crappy piercing practices common on BME and IAM a bit far.
And no, I’m not a super big fan of a lot of the modblog posts lately, and that’s me expressing my personal preference.
/shrug.
But I have to stand up and say, I don’t approve of people taking shots at Roo-he’s a super nice guy and the fact that he’s stepping out of his comfort zone to moderate comments here, to keep spam and crazy nonsensical crap out of here (which is a GOOD THING) goes to show you that there are still people here who give a shit and are trying to make this thing WORK until whatever it is, is over.

Well, that interview was really snobby, wasn’t it?

If Shannon had posted this exact same interview, about 98% of you would be raving at how hilarious it was.
I like the old modblog/new bodytwo just as much as anyone..but lighten up for fuck’s sake.

I do think that the interview was funny, and that the video was mildly educational – in that I realize that is not the way to go about a piercing. Your sense of humor is not lost upon me.
HOWEVER.
I find it sad that one of the first “new” ModBlog posts isn’t an interesting, unique modification.

Oh, and yes, comments have always been moderated.
Just not deleted due to slander in their content.

everyone on this website is turning into a humorless bore.
That shit, is funny. You watched it. You know it is.
I could watch drunk people get stabbed with a safety pin all day, as well as make fun of every band, every sports team, every person on the planet, till the cows come home.
I mean, we can certainly use the internet to anonymously slander the person who posted it, why can’t they anonymously slander the meat heads in the video?
“my insults are okay, but his… not so much.”
bleh.

good christ, people. i wasnt taking shots at roo. and im sure he understands that.
and despite my obvious ire, here…i still dont think anyone should be taking unsolicited shots at anyone else. if you dont think the entry is worth a shit, say so. but personal attacks are a little low, even for a ‘mouthy brat’ such as myself. 😉
besides, this comment thread is OBVIOUSLY for taking shots at jordan, not roo. dur.

-130- “You make that sound like a bad thing.”
-139- “as well as make fun of every band, every sports team, every person on the planet, till the cows come home.”
Explain to me how the personal choice of, at a guess, the 4 or 5 members of each band, in how they want to make music, and the personal choise of, again at a guess, the millions of fans they have, for what music they like to listen to, is a thing that is acceptable to be abused. I dont like nickelback.. or creed, or puddle of mudd. Does that give me the divine right to abuse said bands and others because my tastes are different to that of others? I would guess that you just as easily accept all the abuse that we, the modified, take from all the other ignorant self-riteous out there.
Im looking at the shirt i just took off now to get the quote right.. and i see the words, “We recognise everyone’s right to lead their life in any way they see fit as long as it does not encroach on our freedom to do the same.” So i ask, what are members of the forementioned bands, their fans, even the uneducated piercee in the posted video doing to warrant such abuse? What makes you so justified? This video has very much a right to be here. To educate and show how things shouldnt be done. A vast amount of people will arrive at BME with little knowledge and what is wrong, and leave with a greater knowing. That being said, many cultures perform quite high scale procedures without the things we take for granted as the bare minimum. BME should be about trying to help people into undertaking modification in the safest and most effective ways that we can teach them, showcasing what people are doing and sharing the experience. Not about making cheap jokes at the bands and such the author of the post doesnt like. Am i taking this too seriously? Maybe. Am i just one of the retards “over-thinking a plate of beans? Quite possibly. Im not just defending the said bands. As stated im not a fan of any of them, and as far as the buffalo vs dallas thing, well.. i dont even like football. Or the majority of sport for that matter. Im defending the right of all people to live how they feel just. As long as that way doesnt lead them to abusing blacks/jews etc in the street whatever. Im defending freedom of choice. Not the abuse of it.
Would be different if it was an animal rights or anti-bush pin.. would be abusing vegetarians then? Hippies? Commies?.. Maybe, it was a BME badge! YAY now we can abuse all those stupid modified idiots who destroy their bodies because its trendy. sigh..

Stephy Wolf, this is no longer moderation. I don’t think i’m alone in thinking it’s progressed to censorship.
