I'm generally a big fan/supporter of body mods, even "extreme" ones, but doing that to resemble a favorite celebrity is pretty dumb IMO. If the article was about people getting their eyelids sliced for its own sake I'd be all "you go, kids, stir it up." But to look like Yorke? Groan, sigh, shake of head, pfft, stupid kids.

Try this:

I'll be getting a body mod done soon to make me more closely resemble Lance Armstrong.

Uh, guys... it's a joke. Perhaps you didn't notice because it wasn't funny.

I know, but would it really surprise anyone if it wasn't?

look at the pics Bongomania posted..
to each their own I guess but I do find that sort of thing (body mods) highly disturbing.

I thought it was real, but as you say that's probably because it was so unfunny. That and people do this sort of thing to look like celebrities more often than is strictly neccersary.
