Mississippi Man Cuts Off Own Penis

[Bake]

Flowood police are investigating why a 28-year-old deliberately cut off his penis.

John Castellano, 28, address unavailable, reportedly drove himself to St. Dominic/Jackson Memorial Hospital about 2 a.m. Monday, entered the emergency room and announced he had mutilated himself with a large knife, Flowood Police Chief Johnny Dewitt said.

And the kicker?

"Police said Castellano set up what appeared to be an altar in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary, according to police."

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

4. Did he take it through the Arby's drive through?

:shrug:

5. I'm guessing he'd been a naughty boy ...

And the statue demanded that he cut it off.

This has been the talk of the town down here, although it is kinda sad when you really stop and think about it.

7. What? I live about a mile from Flowood and that name sounds

awfully familiar!!! :o

8. My mother used to be an EMT

and she once went on a call where a dude tried to commit suicide by cutting off his penis. :scared:

He didn't succeed in killing himself, either. :o

9. OWOWOWOWOW...

:yoiks: Maybe he shoulda talked to the Arby's guy before he did that.

[tinfoil tiaras]

10. OMG are you serious!?!?

:rofl: but tha'd hurt like alot...i can only imagine....ew.

11. Mary told him to cut it off!

:crazy:

[cboy4]

12. What a dick!

:hide:

[plcdude]

13. I guess

people won't be calling him a "dick" anymore.

14. He's Darwin Award-eligible!

Actual death is not required. All that is necessary is that the individual remove himself from the gene pool.

My first thought, I must admit, was of Trent Lott -- but then I imagined how timy the tools (both of them) would have had to be...

15. The police had to go retrieve it.

I'd hate to have been on duty THAT night!!

Anyway, they took it back to the hospital where surgeons reattached it. Anybody know if they still work (other than for urination) after something like that?

Come to think of it, I'd hate to take that first leak after the surgery!

16. It's pretty tough to get birth control in Mississippi. n/t

[Shell Beau]

17. That is untrue!!! I know plenty of people on birth control

who got it with no problem!!!!

[Mojambo]

22. It was a joke.

Mississippi has been somewhat notorious for their antagonism towards family planning (Re: abortion) clinics.

[Shell Beau]

23. Very true!! We are having protesters here for and against!!

The Roe from "Roe vs. Wade" was there and she has changed her stance. She is now against.

[txwhitedove]

19. No problem getting birth control in Mississippi.

[Bake]

21. But only one "abortion clinic" in the state, here in Jackson

We had protesters here all week. Anti-choice protesters, that is. Kinda glad it was hotter than hell all week.

24. There was a good bit "for" too!!

Sad to see Roe has changed her stance.

[KamaAina]

25. I met her briefly outside the La. state capital

shortly before her mind crumbled under the constant assault of Rev. Flip Benham (really), the super-duper head anti in charge of attacking the clinic where she worked in Dallas.

It was after a debate on a law eerily similar to that just signed by Blanco. :puke: We were basically alone at the bottom of all those steps. All the pro-choice big shots who were in town were pretty much ignoring her. Soon after, we found out that ol' Flip wasn't.

She even went so far as to try to get Roe overturned on the grounds that she's now an anti! As a frequent target of conversion attempts by anti's myself, "There but for the grace of Dog go I"...

27. It was my understanding the girls drive to Alabama cause it's

not that far.

18. Painful to read

How could anybody do such a thing? He had to be crazy to do that

[Duncan Grant]

20. That's definitely a mental health issue, to say the least.

How sad -- I hope he finds the help he needs. :(

[crim son]

30. Doesn't cause me any pain,

except in the spiritual sense. How could a young man be so deluded? God demands that men sacrifice their erections?

[Major Hogwash]

26. Deliberately?

Man, you would have thought he would have said it was an accident or made up a story or something.

28. In the 60's a body artist peeled the skin off his penis with a knife.

[Benfea]

29. I've thought about doing that.

But the last thing I need is more weight gain.
