Slog - Comments on Maybe They Should Ban BDSM in Canada http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/maybe_they_should_ban_bdsm_in_canada Everything I said about that recent decision by a judge in Toronto that seemed to ban BDSM in Canada? ("People can’t invite violent sex acts, judge rules.") I take it all back. Canadian pierces lover's heart in botched sex game A Canadian man who asked his lover to carve a heart-shaped symbol on his chest during a rough sex game almost died when she accidentally pressed too hard and punctured his heart, a newspaper said on Thursday.

"Rough sex" involving knives should not be combined with alcohol. Seriously.

Especially if you're doing it in cursive.

Unless they have to.

I fondly remember my days in middle school, traveling to school by canoe with the friendly Mounties, and living in our log cabins along Kootenay Lake.

Who is pressing charges? The guy is backing he woman. Is the state stepping in and pressing charges to protect everybody from themselves or what?

One downfall of universal public healthcare is that the state gets to protect people from themselves.

Unless of course you're a politician, then you might get away with it.

While that girl deserves a medal for bravery, presumably that bite bled a lot. Isn't getting a strange man's blood in your mouth generally a very, very bad idea?

But huge applause to the woman for keeping her head, even if her attacker wasn't so lucky.

I'm baffled.

Once, in North Dakota, some people were in a car accident. They were being reckless.

No more driving for you, America!

I mean, I just think it's a weird reaction.
