Do It Yourself Penis Enlargment

news out of orange county.  an unidentified man in his 50s
was put on psychiatric hold for further evaluation after having been brought to a newport beach hospital in need of serious medical attention after his attempt at do it yourself penis enlargement went...oh, about as well as you might have guessed.

apparently, the guy macgyvered a penis enlargement device together by using a steel, ring-shaped, dumbell weight fastener.  he put his penis through the hole and proceeded to leave it there FOR 2-3 DAYS!

by the time he got to the hospital his penis had --

"blackened and swollen to five times its normal size," authorities said.   "In order to remove the ring, firefighters had to use a saw to cut through it." (ed: you know...technically speaking he succeeded)

costa mesa battalion chief scott broussard described the man as, "kind of a wingnut" who had "refused immediate treatment" and been informed,
"that if he waited any longer to remove the fastener, the flesh in his penis would die." 

what i'd like to know is, wingnut or not, did he even try enzyte?  had they not produced the results he desired...or, is this just another example of the extreme measures some people are forced to take because of our terrible economy.  and that if, perhaps, universal health care was available he could have affordably gotten the (natural) enhancement tablets he so desperately felt he needed.
