Oh, Today Show. I love how you know exactly how to induce a gag reflex while I’m eating my oatmeal in the morning.
First we had the guy who cut off his own arm and then they made a movie about it. (Did anyone go see that? Why? You want to watch someone cut off his arm for 2 hours? Because nothing else really happens, right??)
Then there’s this guy who was on the Today Show this morning. Apparently he got his foot stuck while working in the woods and had to cut off his own toes to get free. I love how they mention the fact that he had to cut through bones AND tendons. In case we weren’t aware of just how nasty cutting off your own appendages can be.
People, let this be a lesson: DO NOT GO IN THE WILDERNESS ALONE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
And if you have to go alone, don’t be flinging your limbs around all willy-nilly. You never know where they could get stuck.
ugh my BF made me watch that movie!!! I didn’t even really watch it, I was blogging and blog reading the whole time, but I definitely had to leave the room for like half of it! I agree I don’t get it, yay you survived but it could have been totally prevented!!!
Also, he waited less than 30 minutes before he decided to cut off 5 of his toes. Although it was opening day for the new Conan the Barbarian movie, so ….
Ha and he did make it onto the Today Show. Maybe that’s what he was after all along. Five toes is a small price to pay for 15 minutes of fame. I mean, he still has the other five…
