Could this guy be a contender for the Darwin Awards? I know that they usually pick someone who died, but technically this guy did remove himself from the gene pool, which is really what the awards about. Maybe an honorable mention or something.

(Note: I could not read the article--stupid work blocking the site. So I am assuming that his...um...you know...is no longer with him. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.)
 
Ya, I believe Darwin awards only require that you remove yourself from the gene pool. Death isn't mandatory. And I think stuffing a shotgun down your pants and firing would be a pretty effective way to remove yourself from said pool.
 
5 Years prison for having a gun that you shouldn't??
Seems a little much compared to some of the things people get away with nowadays.
 
Oh, man... first was the store thief that KOed himself. Then there was the bloody guy at Wal•Mart. Then there was the guy using a car's tracking system, and now this. Darwin competitors, step up to the plate!

Maybe the five years is a combination sentence for the illegal weapon and the idiocy required to stick it down your pants.
 
The good part of him being sterile is that he won't be passing on his current intellect. He is very lucky that he didn't hit a major artery like the Femoral and bleed out. The gentleman forgot to take a fire safety class.

Dang ol' work. Let me summarize:

1. Man goes to pub
2. Man drinks 15 pints of ale
3. Man retrieves shotty from home
4. Man returns to pub and shoves said shotty down pants
5. Shotty goes off, taking at least the berries, if not the twig
6. What's left of berries removed by doctors
7. Man cited for illegally possessing shotty

On the plus side he could always get into porn when he gets out, after all it worked for Mr. Bobbit.

I don't think he has enough left for the business. The only porn he will be getting into is watching the videos.
 
IMO, shooting himself in the groin is punishment enough.
I don't even want to imagine what that would be like.

I'm guessing that without his cojones, he won't be much in the mood for porn. There's the lack of a sex drive and the painful memories of good times in the past that might steer him away.

I vote monkhood. Learn to sing. Wear an orange robe. Shave your head. The good life.

Isn't losing his balls punishment enough?

For this kind of stupidity, No. Even if he hadn't lost his balls the judge should have ordered then to be removed :rolleyes: Imagine if it had been someone elses balls he had blown off :confused:
 
He will probably loose a lot of his strength because of this. This is because when men get operations to turn them into women, cutting off their privates causes their muscle bulk to go down to that of an average women.

Illegal possession of a firearm is a serious offence over here. Remember we're very touchy about guns and our regular police are not armed.

Besides, in the UK he'll only serve half his sentence if he behaves himself inside - which is more than likely as he'll have no testosterone to get him into fights etc... He'll just have to start thinking with his brain now not his balls.
 
I guess he should have bought one of the cases advertised in the google ads at the bottom of forum. He might not have shot off his balls then.

All considered though, given it was a shot gun accident, he got off pretty lucky (if you consider eunuchs to ever be *lucky*).
 
It's just a good thing he didn't hold the weapon on himself and force himself to have sex. That would have really gotten him into trouble.

It's sad what we see out in the world. It's sad what people feel that drive them so far.
 
anybody notice the google adds at the bottom? lol it would of be wise for this guy to invest in a case.
:p :D

edit: there not there anymore at least for me. before they were advertising shot guns and cases.

I think that will still be the least of his worries. It all depends on the actual damage and the functioning after the repair.
 
Am I the only one who thinks this is good for men in general?

Now, one more man will think with his brain, instead of his balls.

Only 3 billion to go.
 
This sums it up quite well...

Pretty funny... he blows his nuts off, then goes to prison for five years where he'll likely now be a better than average bitch.
