I'm not insensitive to the disadvantages the mentally impaired among us have. But how many whacks at the nail do you think this guy took -- to his own hand -- before it dawned on him he was shit out of luck and couldn't complete the task at hand, well, single-handedly. "'When he realized that he was unable to nail his other hand to the board, he called 911,' Boucher said."

Now the rest of this article (thanks for the link JH) goes on to say that this poor soul had NOT seen Gibson's Passion but I find that really hard to believe. And even if he didn't see it, there's been enough publicity and video clips and talk shows, that we can safely assume it's close enough. So do I hear anyone clamoring for Gibson's apology, aka Jackass, Beavis & Butthead or any other moronic show where some half-brain has chosen to imitate what they've seen on the screen? I think not.

My vote for understatement of the year:
"It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or help in nailing down his other hand."
Unclear, indeed.
