Re: the piercing debacle...OUCH, OUCH, and OUCH again. I think I would have been catatonic after looking at myself in the mirror. Maybe try taking sitz baths to keep the stitched up area clean? I hope it doesn't hurt too badly. :( *hugs*
And definitely don't be embarrassed. The emergency room has seen FAR more interesting cases come thru the door. :)
Pet Peeve Re: the icon--It's a Frank Miller quote, so it's practically literary. I think we're moving a little too close to literary censorship when we tell someone to take down their icon because it might be considered offensive. There's a lot of literature out there that offends whether it's intended to or not. I guess I could quote D.H. Lawrence in saying "Even the war was ridiculous, though it did kill rather a lot of people," and end up offending someone who knew someone killed in a war...most good writing is bound to offend someone.
