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

That took balls.

I bet he ain't got the balls to try it again!

Stupid, I hope it hurt,,,a lot.

His picture is found in the dictionary under several word definitions and/or abbreviations.

1. WTF?
2. Dumbass
3. Loser
4. Starving artist
5. Numb nuts
6. Taint tingle

Feel free to pile on.

I found it too painful to click the link! Yes, WTF?

In Soviet Russia, balls nail YOU to wall!

OK, that was good!

I read it and had to grab my own.

"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?

I hope a lot for his sake. If he did it sober....

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.

fify!

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.
