Re: I am the elephant man

At least he got treatment.

Out of a human population of over 6 billion on Planet Earth, I wonder how many other poor souls are like this.

Just a thought...

Re: I am the elephant man

Missed the beginning, turned over at the pig scene, couldn't handle the noise. Forgot to go back...

Re: I am the elephant man

Well they didn't have the gear to stun the pig,so they went direct to the heart.Probably the qickest way,although not ideal viewing at ten past nine i've got to say.
The scene had no context to the actual programme,they showed it for the shock value,i'm guessing it worked.
