OK I'd like to start off by saying this next rant makes me kind of a jerk and I'm sure by saying ANYTHING Karma will set me in her gaze but here it goes...

I just read this article about a guy who underwent the world's first face transplant. First of all, it's nothing like "Face Off" meaning if this is really the best we can do in 2010, maybe we shouldn't be doing face transplants at all. Please observe:



Immediately I wanted to know WHY this guy, Oscar, needed a new face. It turns out he accidentally shot his off 5 years ago. Upon hearing this my co-worker Vivian asked, "How much of his face did he shoot off?" To which she then answered herself, "...looks like the whole thing." But we continued to ask questions like, "Why can't he close his mouth?" and "Was this the only face available because it doesn't look like it fits."

I don't know what he looked like before, but if he went 5 years without a face, maybe it was better. There was a movie about that too. And how topical that "The Man Without A Face" starred Mel Gibson. Seriously, what happened there? He just straight up lost his mind.
