Celebrating The Olympics

The Chinese are really excited about the Olympics: Chinese man sticks 2008 needles in his head to mark Beijing Olympic Games.

A Chinese man has pierced his head with 2008 needles to commemorate the forthcoming Olympic Games in Beijing. In a bizarre publicity stunt, Dr Wei Sheng pierced the decorative needles in his head, face, hands and chest in the five colours of the Olympic rings.

In China, people with tattoos and piercings are widely frowned upon and viewed as social outcasts.
