Breaking: Teens getting body parts pierced on St. Mark's Place

It's "mutiliation" as Andrea Peyser describes it in her Post column today.

To an excerpt!

Mutilation. It’s all the rage — for middle-schoolers. Six girls, some in braces, lined up in front of a storefront on St. Marks Place after school this week. At least it looked like St. Marks Place. For this once-grungy stretch of the East Village, where a 7-Eleven recently joined the hodgepodge of bong-selling head shops, has turned into the mecca for a special form of self-expression: St. Marks is the body-piercing capital of North America.

She learns that there aren't any statewide regulations in place related to age minimums for body piercing. Anyway, all this can be dangerous for the teens, she writes — "potentially permanent damage." Not to mention infections. "Until adults act, we’re bound to see mutilated preschoolers," she concludes.

    There is a special place in hell for the likes of Andrea Peyser.
    Please, give her no more airplay here.

    Amen, glamma. Shut up, Andrea Peyser. I would trust Andromeda with any of my or my kid's body parts. And have.

    glamma is so correct on this, another News Corp. evil shrill. As the Simpsons said about Fox News: "Unsuitable for Viewers Under 75." and "Fox News: 'Not Racist, But #1 With Racists"

    @ Crazy Eddie: Let's also include
    NBC News Miami, The "Today" Show, and MSNBC, all of which aired an edited George Zimmerman (Trayvon Martin)911 call to make it sound racist.
    An NBC reporter and producer were fired over this, after they inflamed the situation with mis-leading "News".

    @BSR-Yes, but nobody at Fox ever gets fired for their lies, they double down and always come back with the well, we are # 1, so fuck you. Can't wait for the Murdoch phone hacking scandal to spread here, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

    Wait, didn't a Fox staffer just get fired for leaking inside information to some gossippy news blog? So they do fire people, just not for the reasons you might think :)

    @ Crazy Eddie: This is why The Onion is the only news outlet I trust.

    Andromeda is drug dealing, go somewhere else to get pierced.
