A really disturbing story. But it gets worse. I googled "tongue cut out".

EGAD, lots of such stories, true and fiction. I did not, would not, could not look at any of them. Certainly in the "old days" if someone told a lie, or squealed on someone, they would burn out a person's tongue with a hot rod.

Nasty stuff. But then, for most people what EA folks desire or have achieved probably seems almost as gruesome.(although others are curious, interested, or excited about it).

At least we are not hurting other people, simply attempting to achieve a personal desire (or achieving it).
