It is perfectly understandable that people with a competitive spirit want to create new records, break old ones, create records that would be unbeatable for a long time to come. However, there has to some limit at which it stops being considered healthy and competitive, and goes into the realm of mania and madness Take this case for example. This young guy here has decided to pierce his body with 1091 needles to create a new record? How weird is that? Can you imagine the pain he must have gone through to get that many needles pierced in his skin? Can you imagine how horridly uncomfortable his life is going to become with that many needles sticking out of his body? Can he even wear thick warm clothes in the winter anymore without worrying about snagging a needle and causing unbearable pain? One can only wonder at what kind of incentive he has to pull a stunt like this one.

As you can see, scars, wounds, oozing blood seems to be the norm amongst the participants. However, some have even gone so far as to show a dangling eyeball and a decapitated head. Characters from zombie movies like Resident Evil movies, 28 Day Later, Dawn of the Dead, etc. seem to be the inspiration for many participants. The fun is in walking and behaving like a Zombie, of course.
