A Churchgoer ripped out his eyeballs as a priest gave Sunday mass yesterday.
British-born Aldo Bianchini, 46, stood up calmly and tore them out with his bare hands then collapsed in a pool of blood.
He told doctors in Viareggio, Italy, he "heard voices" telling him to rip out his eyes. Dr Gino Barbacci said: "To do that requires superhuman strength." |
I know I've wanted to get out of Church before, but not that badly.

Requires superhuman strength my ass, I've almost ripped my eyeballs out by scratching them too hard. Superhuman retardation, maybe.

There have been times where I've been in a church and wanted to get out of there desperately but the thought of tearing out my own eyes to expedite my departure never occurred to me. I guess next time I'm in a Catholic church I know what to do now. Seriously though I'd think it would take some serious effort to tear your own eyes out. I mean your first reaction to the pain would be to stop doing it, that would take some serious strength of will to keep going. I'm sure being crazy helped a little though.

This guy must have been a porn addict or something and he took that whole "if your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out" thing literally. And I'm sure being crazy helped too.

*shudder*
That's really all I can add. I'm not usually overly squeamish, but ripping out your own eye? Do. Not. Want.

He must have been an interior decorator who attended one of those churches that was renovated in the late-'70s.

I hate to rain on this parade, but The Sun is a tabloid.

A man plucked out his own eyeballs in an Italian chapel Sunday. The scene was hauntingly similar to the ending of a Roger Corman horror film. According to reports, the man was affected by voices in his brain. He is recuperating in a hospital, but physicians say he will never see again. Resource for this article: Man plucks out his eyes with bare hands in Italian church. The first time I read this I really had the impression that he needs a serious medical attention.

Post above mine has some references with the NY Post and Huffington post.
Didn't know the Sun was a Tabloid though and will keep that in mind next time.

The Sun is the scummiest of scum papers. They just report news which has literally relevance to the world or the running of it.
Featuring such great front page headlines of the past such as:
"Barnacles ate my manhood" and "My son turned into a fish finger"
Still this is pretty fucked up.

I'm just basing my assumption off of this http://sydlexia.com/super_mario_seven_deadly_sins.htm
but uh.. what? if anything you might mean a Vice but I've never heard of it being a sin. Then again I smell something that smells like it's from underneath a bridge so I'm not sure.
