My gf showed me this, and first I told her that someone was fucking with her and it was fake, but then saw it myself. UNREAL.

Definitely one of the most fucking weirdest things I've ever seen to date.

He has very low counts of key types of white blood cells but enjoyed remarkable good health. With such a rare genetic fault, you'd think that more researches would jump in to see if they can find a CURE FOR AIDS or a more effective vaccine or something.

That't bullshit, I don't believe for one second that Jon has a girlfirend.

Two things:

1) Take a shower

2) Did anyone else think the 1 second clip near the end, of the guy puffing on a cigarrette, was out of place? Haha there was this whole very "put together" planned documentary and that just stuck out like a sore thumb. I mean, that was a conscious decision to put that in or keep that in... thought it was funny/weird.

For some reason everytime I see this video I throw up in my mouth.

He works in a circus, they had the other "Clan" members on a Channel 5 show here in the UK. One womans face was falling off, one guy had scales, another had bubbles all over him and one had a trunk. Dede and them were all friends.

It was nuts!
He still hasn't started the treatment, wants to work in the circus still.

Almost forgot, they made him pull a 2 tonne pickup up a hill by his hair.

HarveyJ

Actually, I just watched this video... The one I saw, they zoom in on his wrist and you can see how it just goes in an under the skin on the arm.


Trigatch: They're a form of warts... showering's not going to help. From what I know about warts, it's basically a virus that reworks the way your grow epidermal layers. Herpes Simplex Something or Other...

BamBam: If you think about it, he's got no job skills and lives in Indonesia. What's he gonna do for money after he stops being a carny freak?
It's like that bit in Life of Brian where the ex-leper is cursing Jesus for curing him and taking away his only source of income.

No jerking the monkey for that guy.

Its possible but I think this video was her way of suggesting he wash himself a little more carefully. If you know what I mean.

And this was on Digg Front page, on diggnation, everywhere, where you been?

Mahzkrieg

How doesn't he have a job? They can harvest his lumber.
