I just noticed that I have a piercing icon on the staff page. I don't have any piercings. This is some kind of scam they're running.
I have a dinky earring, that's all. It shouldn't count as a "piercing" piercing.
I would be offended if I ever got offended.

2Sorry Steve, that's a piercing in my book. And yes, that unicorn on your shoulder blade IS a tattoo.

3This is a battle of "literal terminology," I believe.
No, an earring isn't a "piercing" as we have come to know and love them.
Yes, since it is a piece of metal in a hole in yr skin that wouldn't exist unless you chose for it to be there, it IS a piercing.
I would opt for YES, you are pierced.
Now someone post a picture of that kid in England who fell on a church gate, please.

But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.

4No. Lots of guys have one ear pierced. The piercing icon gives the impression that you are into piercing as a hobby or that it's a part of your personality. I think people who are into piercing as a pastime have to get other parts of their bodies pierced or else they run out of space quickly. For example, many college girls in our town get their belly-buttons pierced. In some cases, this is a "gateway drug" that leads to piercing of nipples, etc. in the same way that a whimsical unicorn tattoo may one day lead to "sleeves" or a "backpiece". I have one ear pierced but I'm not into piercing.

5It's a matter of logic.
Let's try a simple computer program:
Either way, it was Greg's idea to give you the piercing icon.
Let's try a simple computer program:
Code: Select all
/* piercing.c: Decides if subject is pierced */
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char pierced;
puts("Do you have any piercings? (Earrings count.) [Y/N]:");
scanf(" %c", &pierced);
if(pierced == 'Y' || pierced == 'y')
puts("You ARE pierced! You deserve a pierced icon.");
else
puts("You ARE NOT pierced.");
return 0;
}
Either way, it was Greg's idea to give you the piercing icon.

6With one ear pierced, are you pierced? Absolutely.
Does this mean you are in the same category as those people with jewelry hanging from their tongues and dicks?
Well, that's kind of a stretch.

7steve, i understand your point, but you need to go to malls more often
they have little kiosks in the middle of the aisles called 'piercing pagodas,' and all they do is ears, i'm pretty sure
since the malls tell the story of american life, since they dictate our culture to us in their cubbyholes and thoroughfares, i would say you're pierced
the better question is: am i? i have two holes in my left ear w/no earrings in them. not sure if i could get an earring into either one of them at this point.

8you know, this is interesting, because i was thinking about this very topic on saturday. i happened to notice the little 'piercing' icon on that thing (by the way, you guys need to give andrew a thing), and thought, "pierced? because of a little earring? this was definitely not his idea--someone is trying to be funny!" the huge piece of body jewelry that the icon depicts is what makes it funny. if it was a picture of a tiny earring, it wouldn't be funny. i personally say that there's no realistic basis for it, but the joke basis of it is great.
the next time someone describes you in a magazine, i hope they refer to the icons for all their biographical information, thus creating the illusion that you're getting even weirder.

9Anytime you put a hole in your body in order to adorn it with decoration of some sort, you are pierced. You belong (though not quite as fanatically) to the "pierced" sub-culture. It's like asking if a little heart on your right breast makes you tattooed. Yes it does, but you won't make it into Skin Art magazine.
A hole with no decoration means you are a reformed pierced and that you have renounced the ways of that subculture. Mine's closed up, thanks.

10I assumed "dinky" was your pet name for your penis. Now I understand you mean "a small earring," not "a penis earring."
