Come to think of it, Discovery Health Channel has lots of programming designed to scar. Pregnant for 46 years, anyone? Pregnant with your own twin? The Half Ton Man? That little girl who was born with almost no face and had those eyes that popped out if she wasn't careful? I'm scarred all over again just thinking about it... That stuff is frightening for grown-ups, can you imagine having watched it as a kid? |

I tend to refer to those types of programs as freaky twin shows. My apologies to all twins out there. I watched one a long time ago (I was maybe 10 or 12 or so) about conjoined twins that had been seperated and durring the end credits of the show the credits were over a background showing skeletal structures of different types of conjoined twins and the one I remember most had one large head with two bodies comming off the bottom. I still get the willies thing about that. Even so I still watch the Discovery Health Channel a lot. |

What about that one about the man who breathed in some yeast (I think it was just common bread yeast) and it almost killed him, but instead he lost his face. Nose, most of his mouth, nasal cavity, eyes, cheekbones, and part of his brain. They saved his tongue and grafted enough bone to the top of his pallet so he could eat, albeit with trouble, and he had little control over his mouth. They also barely had enough skin to cover the gaping hole in his head. I wouldn't even smell bread after that episode! I was scared to go in the kitchen that night and for months afterward. --GB |

I saw on the news this morning that the Planet of the Apes movies are coming out on DVD. Talk about scarred for life!
When I was a kid those movies were on television. My brothers loved them, so every time one was aired we watched as a family. Roddy McDowell's voice still freaks me out and evokes visions of those frightening apes! For the longest time I couldn't look at monkeys at the zoo without getting sick to my stomach. I couldn't even read about Jane Goodall's work because I visualized those awful apes!
I can't help but wondering why my parents let me watch so many horrifying things. Love American Style anyone?
Modified to add: I was thinking about putting a screencap of the movie in here, but I just couldn't bring myself to look at the pictures!

While this may seem extreme upon first reading it...  ...perhaps you have a point!  You must have been traumatized by so much growing up!  |

Here I am excitedly checking in on the Scarred for Life thread and what do I find? Frightening pictures of primates! Ahhhh!! Not only that, but a human kissing one of those horrible Planet of the Apes apes! Oh the humanity!
