Facial piercings have been very popular throughout the years and throughout history, including both primitive and modern cultures. Tribes once used body modifications as a rite of passage. They preformed various brandings, scarrings, and piercings.
Tribes pierced the lips of women before marriage, and stretched the piercing to mark the times. They pierced the cheeks of tribe members, and wore bars connecting the piercings.
Nose piercings began 4,000 years ago in Middle East as they were thought to make childbirth easier due to the placement of the female reproductive organs. Rebekah, in Genesis was, even, given the gift of a nose ring. In many cases, in history, facial piercings were the mark of higher rank in society.
Today, we still see these piercings amongst our culture, as well as many other facial piercings. Facial piercings, as well as other body piercings serve as a mere aesthetic purpose.
Piercers of today, do not fall for historic guidelines, but instead, the thinking is rather "if it protrudes, it can be pierced." If you are thinking about getting some facial piercing, you need to think about healing, as it takes greater care in healing a facial piercing, as for the most part, the face is a flat surface. Plus, the face has several vital areas to which blood travels, so you want to watch healing and infections, as well as rejection and migration.
Because modern society is not like the tribes who practiced face piercings, you will want to consider many things if you decide to get a facial piercing. Consider your job, as most jobs will not allow facial piercings; consider what happens if it gets infected and you have a scar on your face; and consider every possible disadvantage before you get the piercing.
For a price you can have anyone in the audience insulted. The better the $$ the better the insult!

Body painting, or sometimes bodypainting, is a form of body art, considered by some as the most ancient form of art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours. In this post we have summed up some of the most crazy body painting we have seen. Enjoy!
Ever since TV has begun the world has immersed itself in it. There have always been shows to suit everyone’s needs or wants. The channel executives do their best to listen to the public and produce what they think we want to see in order to keep the channel going and the sponsorship of ads coming in. There have been reality type shows for years and more so lately. In the wake of most of today’s television programs becoming reality TV shows, we bring you some of the weirdest ones the world has to offer.
There were 400 families that tried out for this reality TV series. The premise of this show is to take a modern day family and have them live like they did in the early 1900s. They have to stay in the house for three months. The bathroom was outside the house, but it was equipped with 3 bedrooms, a safety room, the telephone was in this room. There was a dining room, a drawing room, a scullery and a kitchen, but there was no electricity. Instead of a washer there was a pot installed for washing clothes over a fire. The family struggled to live their normal lives as a Victorian family.
He’s A Lady
The eleven contestants were told that they were going to compete on a show called the All American Man. It was supposed to be a mental and physical competition. When they got to the show they learned that they had to cross dress in order to win the cash prize. They had to learn how to bond with other females in a nonsexual way, wear a brassiere, jewelry, and make up. They had to plan a wedding, be a bridesmaid, pass as a female in public and with their family and friends and then participate in a beauty pageant.
Married by America
This show was short lived and only ran for one season in 2003. The contestants were introduced on the air and then the audience could vote on who they liked. The male and female who had the most votes would then be married on live television. A few weeks before the show, the winners would be staying together in a hotel and resort in an effort to get to know each other. The couple did not get married at the end of the show and it was said that the woman was truly heartbroken over it.
The Monastery
The original airing of this show was in 2005.The premise of the show is a number of men being selected to live among the monks in a religious retreat. These men did not have to have a religious belief, but they did have to give up all their worldly possessions. This show has 2 spin offs, one including a group of women living in a convent and the other being both men and women living in a Muslim society.
Transamerican Love Story
This show was aired in 2008. It is a dating reality show staring Calpernia Addams, who is a transgender person. During each episode a potential suitor was eliminated. In the first episode, the contestants and Calpernia get to know each other. In the second episode, the men have to cook for Calpernia and her friends. The third episode has the men going through a mini boot camp and the fourth episode she takes them to a night club where she performs. In the fifth episode, the men learn how to two-step and the sixth episode has them meeting her parents, which then leads to a recap show and the finale.
Most politicians and celebrities have to bear the brunt of those who disfigure their pictures, burn effigies and other such things, which could be quite offensive. However, sometimes, these disfigured faces of celebrities and politicians can be quite comical in nature.
This time around, someone has created a funny U.S. President Barack Obama’s avatar in which he has blue skin, and elongated ears. For once, I would be tempted to think that he resembles Batman, and at another glance, he reminds me of the devil. However, there is no clear indication as to what the avatar actually portrays President Obama to be.
It certainly is cool to look at and one really should hope that the president does not take offense to the avatar, if he ever gets to see it. You could also take a look at the Obama Talking Gadget, which would be a great gift to children. The Obama Duck Toy could be yet another gift to someone young at home, or for yourself if you are looking for some comic relief.
We like to think of ourselves as food adventurers, but some strange Japanese food and drink proves that we’re not as open minded as we thought. Check out 12 bizarre Japanese food & drinks… most of which we’re shamed to admit that we’re afraid to try.
Wasabi Beer
A nice cold beer sounds great after a hard day, but wasabi beer sounds less than refreshing.
Basil Seed Drink
Generally in the US we like drinks that are refreshing and sweet and don’t look like they’re swarming with tadpoles, but that’s just us.
Canned Bread
If you thought sliced bread was convenient then get a load of canned bread, available in vending machines across Japan.
Colon Snacks
Possibly to go with your BM coffee, Colon snacks are unfortunately named, but very tasty snacks.
Cubic Watermelons
Square Watermelons were created to save space and become so popular that they cost around 10000 YEN for one (that’s around $100).
Natto
A favorite in Japan, but not very popular among foreigners, natto looks like a pile of snot. It’s not much more appealing once you find out what it actually is… fermented soy beans.
Octopus Ice Cream
If you thought Japanese red bean ice cream was weird then you should try Octopus ice cream.
Okonomiyaki (Japesene Pancakes)
Okonomiyaki, known as Japanese pancakes or as Japanese pizza isn’t really much like either. Made with batter (hence the pancake reference) and covered with toppings (which may have inspired the pizza connection) Okonomiyaki is usually topped with ingredients like cabbage, vegetables, mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce which tastes sort of like Worcestershire. But really, they can have anything you want since the name literally means “what you want”.
Placenta 10000 Jelly Drink
Jelly drinks are strange enough to Americans, but Placenta 10000 isn’t just unfortunately named… it contains actual pig placenta. Apparently it’s healthy and tastes like peaches.
Tamagogani – Dried Crabs
In Japan rather than crunching on potato chips, people crunch on dried hermit crabs called Tamagogani which roughly translates to “egg crab” or “baby crab”.
Wasp Crackers
Sure, the wasps in these crackers are already dead but how can you put something that stings you in your mouth and not be a little freaked out?
