Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the creepiest, freakiest, most fucked up news story you will likely ever read. This rivals the guy chops another guy’s head off in a bus and eats him story. Fair warning, this is not for the faint of heart (don’t worry, no pictures, just gruesome descriptions). [Father Accused Of Eating Child’s Eyes Out](http://www.turnto23.com/east_county/19473681/detail.html) – and then there’s the part where the guy leaves his wheelchair, drags himself into the back yard and tried to chop his leg off with an ax. David Lynch couldn’t have written this shit. Please join me in saying … eeeeeewwwwww Jesus Christ, what the fucking fuck?!? Placed in the pit for subject matter and recreational outrage, which I shall now further elucidate by saying … I think I’m going to fucking puke now. ---

You scoop/pop it out of the socket, and then eat it. The eye is squishy, but it holds together. It’s kinda gooey, but it stays together. And the lens would be chewy and kinda hard- you might have to just swallow that part or spit it out. But it’s definitely eatable. The trick would be in getting it out without popping it, but if you were able to get it out intact, you’re in good shape- just cut the optic nerve and voila! Here’s looking at you, Kid. ---

I once dissected a cow’s eye at summer camp. Come to think of it, I went to a rather odd summer camp. ---

I know this is the pitt, but are you guys seriously making jokes about a four year old losing his eyes at the hands of his own father? ---

> [@ajb867](#): > > I know this is the pitt, but are you guys seriously making jokes about a four year old losing his eyes at the hands of his own father? Sometimes that’s all you can do. I mean, once you’ve seen enough fucked up stories like this on the internet, are you supposed to shred you clothes, rip your hair out, and bake under the desert dun in a burlap sack full of ashes for each one? Sucks for the kid but pouring out sympathy on an internet messageboard he’ll never read (ba-dum-tsss) won’t help him. ---

Did you really just say that all you can do sometimes is make a joke at another person’s suffering? I realize that the internet is slightly detached from reality for some people. However this is not some fucked up story you read on the internet, its very much real. Say you have a kid and your kid happens to have something like this happen to him. Me being your neighbor the only prudent thing to do would be to joke about it on my facebook, well that or rip my hair out and bake under the desert sun etc. ---

Best line from the neighbor: _“If I knew what happened to little Angelo, I would have just let him cut his leg off. I would have left him alone.”_ After all, since Daddy’s already finished the appetizer, might as well move on to the main dish. ---

Jesus poor kid. I cannot see how someone could be so fucking fucked up. I don’t think I’d believe it even if I saw it with my own eyes. ---

My grandfather was one of the most important people in my life. I joked when he died. _He_ joked when he found out he was dying. Someone died - almost literally in my arms - in January of this year, and I made a joke out of it less than 3 hours later. Was it painful? Yes. Was it traumatic? Yes. Did I feel incredible sorrow for him, and sympathy for his family, which I hold to this day? Yes. But different people deal with shit in different ways. Don’t be so narrow-minded. One thing I’ve learned in life is that 4 people can witness a terrible event - 1 of them cries, 1 of them gets angry, 1 of them acts indifferent, and 1 of them laughs, and yet all 4 of them essentially feel exactly the same way about what just happened. They’re just expressing it in different ways. I’ve been all 4 of those people at different times. ---

I think we should have a weekly RO pool thread, where entries are submitted from around the globe and then we vote on the story that arouses both the most prurient titillation at its arcane horror and bathetically obvious condemnation for its perpetrator: he sucked out his son’s eye and ate it? Why, he is clearly an unfit parent! Words cannot express my outrage! Bonus points if prison rape is mentioned as a suitable punishment.
