It's funny. I knew a comment like this would already be here or it would at least be on its way even before I clicked on this thread.

I can just imagine if family members and friends that were standing over him talking shit about him or others. They'd be like, "fuck..."

Thank goodness he wasn't here in the States. Insurance Companies would have pulled the plug on him 22 1/2 years ago and we would have never known he was conscious.

Holy fuck that is terrible. My idea of hell. Fucking torture!

Its like that movie Johnny Got His Gun. Except the guy probably didn't get whacked off by a nurse.

And if The Amazing Randi calls bullshit...it's probably bullshit.
