[quote]A naked performance artist who nailed his scrotum to Red Square as a political protest may face up to five years in prison, Russian media report.
A criminal investigation has begun into Pyotr Pavlensky's actions at the Kremlin wall on Sunday, the interior ministry told news agencies in Moscow.
Pavlensky was arrested but released the following day and placed under travel restrictions.
However, the 29-year-old now faces the charge of hooliganism.[/quote]
Why do I get the feeling that this is kind of like Pussy Riot all over again?
he just nail his balls to the ground is there any more need for punishment.
Literal balls to the wall.

His balls really did drop
I really want to know what kind of mental state you have to be in to do this.

Who cares, it worked!

What worked?
He's protesting the Russian state or fighting for LGBT rights or something like that. Either way a bunch of random people across the world are talking about why he did it right now, which makes it successful.
He deserves longer just for making me cringe at the thought of nails in my balls.

Seriously, there has to be a better way of Protesting.

you're making a great example of why it was effective. not saying people should regularly nail their scrotums to the ground, but yeahh

Do we or Do we not need more Scrotums nailed to grounds in protest?
What does that even represent? What does it symbolise?
You make a good point, but it begs the question. Why?
russia nailing sexuality to the ground by force? idk. kinda cheesy, but it did drag your attention towards the LGBT topic, so it worked. regardless of whether or not people think he's an idiot, he did what he set out to do

I'm not sure if it was meant to directly symbolize something but you can easily see the effect it's had on world media.
He's reached his objective, I'm pretty sure.

It's his own scrotum, he's not hunting for scrotums to nail to the ground

It's not the symbolism, it's the fact it gets attention.
A signal flare is a signal flare, regardless of color.

I had no idea what his reasons were, I just knew that he nailed his nuts to the pavement.

stop assuming every russian protest is about gay rights

you're asking about this on an internet forum, exposing more people to his actions
it worked

The people are stripped of their dignity and their ability to act against the oppressive oligarchists in control of the government.
Russia's really breaking his balls here
I like how they throw the super trumped up vague charge of hooliganism against anyone who speaks out against the state
the whole thing is a farce
With sensationalist headlines now a days, and the mentality of some of the public, I feel like his cause will be ignored, and forever known as "Dude who nailed his sac."

you would never have heard of him or what he was protesting if he was just a random dude with a homemade sign that's for sure

he just hates putin in general, so he just hates the politics
He nailed a flabby piece of skin attached to his balls. It would have been more amusing if he nailed directly through the middle of the sack or through one of the testicles.

"I rate this protest 2/10, not ballsy enough."

I think you've got the wrong idea.

I'm not entirely sure that you're understanding.
The ballsack is not just skin. It's the goddamn BALLSACK.
