"... this IS dangerous unless you know what you are doing. You can actually crucify someone if they are not properly supported..."
Somewhere betwixt fetish, product placement and astonishingly bad idea lies the DuctTape Guys' Guide to Wall Taping.
It all bears a striking resemblance to stills from Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Aliens.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that disclaimer might not hold up in court.

  • Boo! I saw this show already! I call rerun!
  • Woah. Not to jump on the snark bandwagon (although the seats are very comfortable, and heated) but, uh, maybe use the [more inside] feature?
  • well if I hadn't posted TWICE it probably wouldn't be half as ostentatious...
  • True. True.
  • The whole point of crucifixion is that the victim is adequately supported. So they die slowly in horrible pain, maybe even hang on for a couple three days. Geddit?
  • maybe use the [more inside] feature? I rather prefer posting metafilter style, where the FPPs actually say something instead of presenting some cryptic link. I'm afraid I still can't condone double posts, however! Anyhow, fun site, although we did try and tape a guy to a pole at a party and he got out easily. I would guess most of these people are not so much immobile as supported. Then again, they did use a bit more tape that we did...

    Thank you! I'd been wondering why I clicked on so many more links in MeFi than I do in MoFi. I didn't realize until you'd mentioned it that there are so many MoFi links that are just short phrases or quizzical expressions followed by [more inside]. My eyes skip over them, probably because I unconsciously consider them to be advertisements, trying to lure me into clicking, as opposed to just plain telling me what they're about and letting my own curiosity decide...Though it has been getting a lot, lot better recently.
  • Damn monkeyfilter! Oh, wait...
  • They did this to a burglar in an episode of Bottom once. Teh funny.
