A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Those crazy Brits!

I have no idea what this show is about, but it comes from the same country that finds Mr. Bean funny, so how can I expect to understand?

Anyhow blackroses sent me a message on IAM that said:

We have a show in england called snog marry avoid, tonight is the start of series 3 and i was surprised and delighted to find a fork tongued teacher!

She was kind enough to include a link to it on YouTube so I could share it with you guys.

UPDATE: My favorite nomad, Howie, shot me a message saying he was the artist who did the implants and tongue split and that the girl is kissitgoodbye.

    Actually, Mr. Bean is not very popular in England, it has had more success in the U.S.

    I don’t get it, why would someone modified participate in a show like this? is it for the show to gain publicity?
    or is she really feeling ‘fake’ and want a makeover? ;oo

    I never give a strait answer about mods to people acting like that… they don’t deserve it and there is no reason to spread that stuff around. With the questionable legal ground on surgical stuff in the united states all i tell people is:

    “I got my tongue split cause a girl clenched up on my tongue ring when i was going down on her, i pulled out and it ripped and thats what happened.”

    ive seen this a few times, its not meant to be comedy btw, it mainly has these over the top girls on who are basically orange and go out wearing nothing, thinking they look good, when really they make themselves look about 20 years older than they are etc. sometimes it has people on who are quite heavily modified and basically says, maybe you would look better if you toned it down. Its difficult because you dont want to take some peoples indiviuality away, but in somecases the people do look a lot better after, I think it more like, two extremes of what that person could look like, and its up to them afterwards to maybe find a middle ground. There was one with this lad from Glasgow, he was actually orange, wore pink leggins, mr t style jewlery, omg, you honestly havent seen anything like him, and when he was done under, he was so attractive, it was amazing.

    I think this show dosent work as well for modified people as it does for the barbie girl type we have in england, because I dont think the people who make it are really aware of the reasons people get tattoos etc, but the reason someone is orange is because they dont realise they are actually beautiful without that etc.
