curious

ah ... *ahem* ... excuse me, but what's the deal with the latest piercing thing? i've seen ears with this conical thing in the piercing and wondered, wha? then i heard someone say that people have started piercing like they do in africa, where they keep enlarging the hole until it's humongous.

i mean, eeuuuwwww. when they take the decoration out, the hole just hangs there in all its largeness.

uh ..... why?
