For the Eunuch Archive, I'm very surprised no one has commented on this yet.

On America's Got Talent there is an act that is entirely about Ball-Busting. Yes, that is the entire act.

"Horse", the fellow who has said talent, has wowed the judges by having himself hit repeatedly in the dangly bits by his group of friends. They've used bowling balls, baseball bats. Sledge hammers and concrete blocks! They've kicked him with bone shattering force. They've dropped him on his grapes onto steel bars. They've even got the host, Nick Canon, to get into the action.

When he first appeared, he stripped down to his white Y-front underwear to prove he doesn't wear a cup.

On last night's show, he took on the persona of a Ball Busting superhero. He slid down a Banister into the rail. His friends lined him up with a see-saw and jumped onto the other end, breaking the whole thing off between his legs. One even did an aerobatic back-flip coming down with both feet square on Horse's plumbs. After he had survived all the punishment to the meat and two veg you could possibly imagine he'd take, he dished out his vengeance by incapacitating his foes with nasty low blows, that didn't look at all fake.

These guys were going for ruptured testicles, and bruised or broken pelvic bones.

It was certainly more 'Jackass 3D' than 'The Adventures of Ball Smashing Vixens 8', but I suppose AGT is a family show.

Has anyone else seen this? I just watched the latest episode on my DVR, and I cringed the whole way through. I can't be the only one surprised a ball-busting act would get all the way to the semi-finals.

Thoughts? Comments? Wish it were you?

Let me know.

Oh, and here is a video of last night's performance;

Thank You for sharing this fine piece of American culture.

No government run programming would expand your horizons

as America television can.

The 18-25 male demographic loves attention.

Talent, Tosh.o , It only hurts when you laugh, Rediculousness, AFV all

are becoming ball-buster heaven.

I watch the show, I also can't believe he got this far. My 87 year old Mom says "isn't he going to hurt himself" I had to chuckle when Howard stern commented on his Mom likewise comment. Maybe he has a way of retracting them into a safer location.

Maybe he injected them with vodka and they are now hard and numb.

Or after all the abuse he has given them they are hard and numb.

Or he might actually be castrated by now.

Even so, all that force to the groin is going to cause some pain and brusing.

He has a beard to do what? Prove he is still male? Could be HRT.

Love it!

Wonder if he will have kids - perhaps not.

Does not bode well for America if this is considered talent? He's probably a sado-masochist who loves pain and abuse, probably goes to a dungeon where his balls are tortured. What people don't realize is that on every new episode he's got to do something more extreme. Maybe he'll do a ball hanging where they'll bring him out and string him up by his testicles? Yikes, that makes for good TV, not. I've got to believe that if his balls aren't already severely damaged, they will be after this show. He'll probably need to have them removed, maybe that'll be the finale, a live castration. Of course maybe he's already got fake testicles? So maybe he's already castrated, but if not, he's moving in that direction. Maybe the finale will be having all the women in the audience coming up on stage and kicking him in the balls, one can only dream.

For the record groin shots on American TV is old news, Americas funniest home videos took care of that, heck there is a comedic song about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae-Hjm0JCc4

I am quite certain that the act is still on the show solely for shock value.

I have to go watch it again but i think in the "interview" before his act he was talking about having kids... how his first one was a surprise?

I'm big into being ball busted and know that a person can take a lot, but in the case of this show I'm pretty sure there is a bit of trickery involved. For example, in some martial arts classes I've taken (old-school karate) you're taught that you can tape up your balls to keep them in the inguinal canal and that can pretty much protect them from groin kicks. Alternatively you can leave them really free to move and learn to do the moves such that they are out of harms' way at the critical moments. Even ignoring the balls, landing on planks and stuff is going to bruise you up unless you've learned to do it right. I look at this act as basically the same as a stuntman -- makes things look crazy but has practices such that the potential for real harm and pain is minimized. It's like those "parkour" guys who can jump off high balconies and know how to roll such that they don't even sprain an ankle ... Anyway, unless he can show that his real balls are being hit square on in an way that they don't escape, I suspect that it isn't what it seems. I'm sure he's still a ballbusting masochist, but just saying it isn't as extreme as it looks ...
