Pretty sure this has been on before and also not too long ago. Made me feek sick when i saw the moving images. Feel really sorry for th poor guy tbh. He does have some heavy weight specialist working on his rare condition though so he should be ok soon.

Channel 5 do really well on finding someone with incredibly rare and disfiguring diseases and then turning it into a "human interest" story, usually with a sensationalist title and then having a load of people tune in to gawp at a stranger suffering.

Is it just me that finds the interest in this sort of thing a bit odd?

I'm just bitter cause they didn't offer me a show. How disfigured do you have to fucking be eh? Maybe if my mum had done the dirty with A FUCKING TREE I might have my own show - but no, the bitch refused to get all evil dead and I don't have a fucking show. Fuck you mum

What is really sad is the guy has a family but the only way he can make money is by performing in freak shows and this does'nt really support his kids. He apparently used to have a pretty good job in the construction industry.

kins83 · Post by **kins83** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 3:46 pm

in a simialr vein, did anybody see that guy with the tumours on his face. It was fucking awful. I really felt for the guy.

I think they decided that it was better and more ethical to use pine than bits of his head.

Just so you know the guy is now cured... i read an article about it in Bizarre mag...

the USA dermatologist flew him over to the states and managed to cure him... so happy days all round eh?

mate if you think thats bad, the guy from that program goes around with like 6 other people with some of the rarest most disfiguring illnesses in the world and do a sort of freak show, and some of them could even be treated, when this guy was offered treatment he initially refused treatment cause he was making money from being who he was, he was being proper exploited, but it seems he finaly came around
