A man tried the famous wheelie
maneuver in the Northeastern
Brazilian State of Maranhao, and it
didn't exactly had the result he
anticipated. He somehow lost control
of his motorbike and got his leg skinned to the bone. His face tells the
rest of the story. As usual, the Da Silvas gather around
in their infamous flip-flops to watch
the carnage, take some photos or
videos and send them to their
friends. A child, who is probably
desensitized after seeing such things quite often, can be seen. But I mean,
aren't we all here at BestGore
desensitized to some degree? In
truth, the gore we see is on a digital
form, so how would we react if we
saw it happening in front of us? This reminded me of a car accident I saw a
few years ago. The car was cut in
half, and a body with a white yet
bloodied forensic sheet was laying
on the ground. And although I felt a
rush, resulting from the initial shock, it was short-lasting and I felt
indifferent right afterwards, for I
immediately reminded myself that
that is just how life is. It has a
beginning and an end, which may
come in unexpected ways. A trail of blood can be traced to the
flip-flops the man was wearing,
Brazil's eternal bad omen, alongside
the surname 'Da Silva'. Since one
can't remove one's surname, why
not at least avoid the closest thing that inadvertently gives you bad
luck? Shouldn't they know this by
now? But some people just don't
learn. Should we however pity
these guys who perform such
reckless and dangerous road tricks, putting not only themselves, but
others at risk? Well, lesson learned I
guess. I bet he won't do that again
