You know the world is full of weirdness and you come to wrongtown regularly to see what new weirdness we have discoverred.
The book/movie Crash by JG Ballard (starring James Spader) featured a sub-culture of people who eroticised injuries. Broken arms and legs, smashed faces and scars were the heart of a sexual fascination. The book/movie Fight Club had the narrator (Ed Norton's character) attend self help classes as part of a weird fetish for embedding himself amongst testicular cancer victims growing man-boobs, body parasites, and more. You, like me, thought these were the creative interpretations of the fringe of our culture. You thought there was a kernal of truth here that had been modified and amplified by the creative authors Ballard and Palahniuk. You were mistaken. The world is a weirder place that you had imagined. And you love it.
Well, today you are in luck. I bring you Casterz, the website for people who like people in casts.
