You think this is becoming? attractive? less than GROSS? Really?

Someone sent me this picture in one of those unsolicited, boring emails. When I saw it I almost spit my drink all over the monitor. Which is probably the reaction this person was going for in the first place.

YIKES!!! This is scariest thing I think I’ve seen in a long, long time. Why on earth would anyone put themselves thru this?

I can’t imagine ANYONE ever hiring this person for any job. Even a tattoo parlor or piercing salon wouldn’t want this hanging around. I would think he/she would be detrimental to business.

“You too can look like this! Think of the money you’ll save since you won’t need to buy deodorant, soap, toothpaste or laundry detergent. No one will want to be anywhere around you so you don’t need to smell good. Here’s an example of what you could look like if we take full advantage of your lack of sense. And in the process help ourselves to as much of your money as we possibly can. We will tattoo and pierce you until money stops oozing from your pockets. Don’t worry about the oozing sores from all the piercings. They’ll go away with your purchase of one of our antiseptic packages from our convenient clinic next door. Call now to make an appointment”

Maybe he/she could get a job in a circus or a sideshow or even a haunted house. I know I would run far and fast if this was chasing me. Why am I wishing that someone would tell me that this picture is Photoshopped? I really don’t want to think that some poor demented person paid good money to have this done to them on purpose. And that some unscrupulous tattoo parlor or piercing salon took full advantage of them.

While I fully endorse free expression and believe in the adage “To each their own”, I really have a hard time with this.

Anyway, Welcome to my current nightmare…..this picture has taken up permanent residence in my brain like one of those insidious ear worm songs that float around in your head over and over. I’m hoping that by passing it on to the bits and bites of the internet IT might worm it’s way out of my psyche.

My fingers are crossed!
