I Try to Be Open-Minded and All, But…
Friday, July 30th, 2004If this is true (and I have my doubts) I can pretty much guarantee that it will be the most freakish thing you read all week.
It’s work-safe. Just weird.
The story is five years old. Given the tease in the concluding paragraph, I’m left wondering what happened.
Or maybe not.
TheAgitator.com

Pardon my french.
Holy fucking shit, that is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.
WHY?!?!?
I couldn’t get past the first page, so maybe you can tell me what I missed.
On second thought, never mind. I need to wash my eyeballs or something. Ewewewewewew
Seriously, I need to find a picture of kittens or something to reset my poor body and mind.
Er, check the date at the bottom of the article.
Sure, April Fool’s and all that. But what sort of mind comes up with that kind of stuff?
/still freaked out
Come on Radley, I read your blog because you typically show respect for you readerships intelligence. If you are so naive as to believe this, or so naive as to believe we will believe this, then I may need to reconsider reading your blog and you may want to reconsider your career in web journalism.
The Most Bizarre Thing I’ve Ever Read
There’s gotta be something wrong with these guys (via The Agitator). Adding and Subtracting - Ryan and Dave are the most unique identical twins you’ll ever meet. After tiring of piercing, tattoos, and implants about three years ago, they began…
Ok, all I had to see was the title “Adding and Subtracting”, the fact that they were identical twins, and the fact that the guy on the left had 3 hands to know those people were too weird to add to my knowledge of the universe.
Or it could all be a hoax like some posters have said, in which case it isn’t worth my time to read.
Maybe I’ll IM the link to some unsuspecting friend. That would make a good evil act of the day.
Okay, looks like I was duped.
I’m sure you’ve never been fooled, DJB.
But thanks for the lecture.
Hope my career isn’t as doomed as you predict because I bought into a faux body-mod story.
But if you “need to reconsider” reading this blog because I was duped, please, reconsider away. One fewer commenter expressing his disappointment with me because he didn’t like one post out of dozens will make my blogging experience just a wee bit better.
I’m also happy to refund your subscription fee for the duration of your time reading this site. 100% of it.
Radley, I still idol you.
if you look at the HTML source of the page, you’ll find this:
whoops, the same code that hid it on that page, hid on this one, so let me modify it for here…
Yes, this was an April Fools prank!
You’re not the only person that didn’t get it.

Radley: “Hope my career isn’t as doomed as you predict because I bought into a faux body-mod story”
You’re okay, because you just posted it to your blog.
If you’d mentioned it in a more formal commentary piece, your career would be having issues.
Well, duh.
Sheesh. The point having a blog is having the ability to post what you’d like. You can post your rants, you can post whatever strikes your fancy.
Some people need to get over themselves, methinks.
I won’t be needing a refund of my subscription fees, thanks.
I’m so glad it was a joke, coz that is sick sick sick!!!
The link Jason gave might work better like this:
