No. I can’t think of anything an ex could do that would induce that kind of rage. I don’t even think those “got-hit-in-the-balls” video clips are funny on that America’s Lamest Videos show. If my remote lands on one of those shows, I might pause if there’s a dog doing something funny, but as soon as the face plant and ball hit videos start running, I flip to something else.

Check her fingernails, though.

No, it’s a song about destroying some guy’s car because he cheated on her. But I;m not sure where the line get crossed between “vindictive bitch” and “mental illness”.

For me, that song crosses over into “mental Illness”

Oh god that songs pisses me off to no end. Beyond everything mentioned above, the part that goes something like “carved my name into his leather seats”. You destroy someone’s car and you’re then stupid enough to carve your name into it? Pretty sure that’s a crime, and “But he wuz a-cheatin’ on me!” isn’t a defense. Also, “white trash version of Shania karaoke”? Is there any other kind?

Anyway, even if I found out an ex had committed some terrible, unspeakable crime, no way could I slice off his junk. Too messy. Too involved, too hard to cover up. If there were some reason that this hypothetical ex was in no way going to face legal consequences for these hypothetical crimes I was 100 percent sure happened, I’d start thinking if I knew anyone who might be able to make a tragic “accident” happen. But that’s it.

I just looked up the lyrics to that. Wow. Maybe he’s cheating, maybe he’s trying to get away from the psychotic bitch who wrote that song.

The thing I hate the most about this song is it’s so damn catchy. Nothing irks me more than a terrible message in a well-written song.

I would have sided with her if she just cut it off, but she planned it. According to the article, they got divorced in May. What the fuck where they doing still living together? Or having dinner together?

To the question at hand, I have a pretty bad temper and have turned violent before. I don’t know if I could cut off an ex’s penis. I’d rather just take naked picture of him and post them online and pretend I didn’t do it. I don’t think I would calculate anything. It would be in the heat of the moment.

I can imagine, just barely, being furious enough to kill somebody. Not to torture them, though.

It’s okay to cut off his penis as long as it’s spur of the moment?

Quick Google search shows two men wrote that song.

Maybe it was a community property state; then it was just as much her car as his.

Still, kinda stupid to carve up your own car.

Weak, at least you tried though… But there is no joke to go with this situation.

I’m no known violent man but said woman would be a vegetable about 3 seconds after I look down… Women love to push limits and it can be enjoyable but this one is severely slow in the head. I get angry thinking about it, who the fuck does she think she is? With that type of uncontrollable anger she should be a tranny or something. And yes, it is wrong because SHE is a girl…

She can’t be helped… Sad world we live in… She needs a cage… She can’t be released… And feed her dog food… AHHHHHH

Uh…really? Most guys will curl in a ball after a good kick in the nuts, I can’t imagine them being functional enough to attack someone immediately after a penis amputation.
