And I'm not proud my support - well, maybe a little.

The story is that a man in Iran poured sulphuric acid over the head of a woman who had rejected him, leaving her blind and disfigured. Now, under Iran's corporal punishment laws, he is now going to be punished with five drops of acid in his own eyes. I'm pleased, and I think it may cause some pathetic excuse for a human being to not pour or throw acid on women, if he thinks this may happen to him.

But some people, predictably, are crying torture. Cry me a fucking river. Avoiding this fate is as simple as - wait for it, take notes, this is a little difficult - not deliberately burning people with acid.

I liked this comment:

It better be concentrated sulfuric acid. What a pig.

If they really wanted to torture him they should have rubbed him with boobies or put panties on his head.

I hope they bandage his eyes with bacon.

Ooo, is this one of those threads where each person tries to come up with a crazier punishment than the poster before them in order to establish who is angrier at the guy?

I say we tie him to blue whale's penis during mating season!

Hmm, I hadn't planned it like that - or at all - but I like your train of thought.

Your sick, perverted train of thought...

On a serious note, I'm worryingly comfortable with acid in this guy's eyes.

I just KNEW you would post that (well, not the part about the whale, though...LOL)!!!!! So predictable, Speak.

Me too. But I bet when push came to shove, neither of us could order it or do it.

But it is sort of fun to talk about it. I say they make him wear soft contacts, too. That way the acid can both burn him and fuse the contacts to his eyes so that there is no chance of saving his sight.

(Woah, now I'm pretty creeped out at myself.)

Has anyone stopped to ask whether the chick had it coming?


(Even I found that in bad taste....)

Expect a swarm soon. Prepare yourself.

Honestly, I have no idea. That's what scares and intrigues me.

For all my scepticism at the existence of the fabled "sisterhood", I think most women can come up with some pretty creative punishments for "people" like this, who attack women. But I'd never considered the soft contact lenses.

Glad I didn't let you down.

Good question. Her mouth said 'no', but her seductive wrists and ankles said 'yes'.

See, I'm thinking that the fact that there will be five drops means that the punishment will be meted in a controlled environment. That means that he will likely get emergency treatment for the injury right away. Probably an immediate flushing of his eyes, first. So, if he has the contacts in, the possibility of saving his sight would be less.

Just trying to be pragmatic for the highest damage to the pig, here.

Oh my god, I never thought they'd try to save his sight. Don'cha just love it when they have more concern for the perpetrator than for his victim? It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling insi - no, wait, that's rage.

That is IT. I am never eating popcorn in front of the computer again. Cleaning it from the keyboard is just too hard.

Exaclty what I was thinking. What a tease.
