Artist nails his scrotum to the ground in Red Square | World news | theguardian.com

Quote:
Red Square has seen a lot over the centuries, from public executions to giant military parades, but a performance artist broke new ground on Sunday when he nailed his scrotum to cobblestones in a painful act of protest.

"Pavlensky has a history of self-harming art, including sewing his lips together to protest against the jail sentences given to members of Pussy Riot and wrapping himself in barbed wire outside a Russian government building, which he said symbolised "the existence of a person inside a repressive legal system"."

Sounds like he is a sadist to me... Wonder how much vodka was involved?

We tell the world what we think we are worth by the way we treat ourselves.

Clearly this guy believes he is worthless.

Some form of mental illness or a bad case of narcissism.

Very bad balls-to-brains ratio.

This is mild compared to the extent of damage that people have done to themselves.
Just trust me, you don't want to go further.

no fan of putin; but have to be afraid of any opposition that attracts such borderline personalities.

Hopefully plenty - you really want to thoroughly sanitize/sterilize your bag, nails, hammer, and giant freaking stone before attempting a stunt like this.

Safety's always first.

I know a few performance artists. Trust me, this is very mild compared to some stuff out there.

I'd be more impressed if he drove a nail through a testicle rather than just the skin of the scrotum.

At least he doesn't do things half-cocked.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
