I've spent all morning trying to come up with a post title, and I failed. There are no words that even come close to the sheer brick wall of mixed emotions I experienced after watching this.
I think this manages to cover every category, from Incredible to Horrifying... http://www.reuters.com/news/video/videoStory?videoId=64240
I wonder why there are so many strange deformities in China? Is it because of the horrific pollution in the environment? Or is it merely because their medical system sucks so bad that things are allowed to get to this point?
Poor guy ...
no more, okay? "interesting" encompasses sad, crippling deformity, whereas "neat" does not. interesting is for digg. neat is for you.
I wonder if they had a nuclear accident and kept it to themselves.
Alex: you need to reign these contributors in. Otherwise this site will continue moving in the direction of sicko disturbing sites like rotten.com and all the other depraved crap out there.
If you can, well, that would be life affecting, and if you change just a little because of it, then THAT would be neat.
Thanks Neatorama.
That poor man.
I'm always amazed at the strength of personality displayed by people in these situations.
I'd have killed myself long since.
Yes, it would be wrong to call this "neat" but that wasn't the intent of the post. Whether or not something that isn't neat should be featured on Neatorama is a different argument which I won't go into except to say that I am fine with posts like this as long as they are presented with tact, as was the case here.
Suicide is painless.
I agree with others, that, while this is a bizarre and disturbing story, it is also definitely worth seeing. Personally, I find it quite uplifting that the man has the courage and determination to continue fighting the things holding him back. great human interest story.
A: Well, it's killing me!
