China has been buzzing with anticipation for the 2008 Olympics this summer. From putting up sexy Olympic street lights to naming 3,500 babies after the event, you can definitely feel the pride and excitement for the coming games.
Wei, a 60 year-old Chinese acupuncturist from Guangxi province, showed his patriotism for the upcoming Olympics by piercing his head, face, chest, and arms with 2008 decorative needles in five different colors.
The event broke his previous Guinness Record of 1790 needles set in 2004. Wei also hopes to share more about the history of acupuncture to the world.
Initially inspired after reading about a Canadian who had set a record for inserting 420 needles in his arm, Wei felt that it was “not much compared to our centuries-old acupuncture,” and began experimenting with piercing his own body with needles.
On January 13, 2007, Wei had also paraded through town with 800 needles in his forehead and even put on skates and skated around the streets to show he was not in pain and alright.
“I shook with fear when I saw his hedgehog-head. It seemed like he must be hurting himself.” said a lady in her sixties.

OMG
Makes me want to rub his head and watch him in agony!
Dumbass can’t compete in the games, so he gets as much attention as he can by doing something ridiculous. Haha
Ya! It’s almost as lame as belittling him online!
Awesome commentary, Fagdream!
I agree. Bumbass can’t get attention in real life, so they make lame comments online to make themselves feel good. Haha
i cant see anymore lolz
WTH hes not pierced he just stuck pins in his head, what a pinhead, i agree sad excuse for attention!
derek,
your post is a significantly sadder cry for attention than his display.
Go gobble some cock.
Accupuncture != pins
You would know that if you had a modicum of Chinese medicine knowledge
um ok well hmmm He has WAY too much time on his hands
Dam you can work on the next hell raiser movie
He doesn’t even look 60. Wow…crazy!
He is sought after by quilting groups as a portable, self-transporting, self-powered pincushion.
This is so freaky weird it’s funny.
BONZII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg so thats where grandmas pincushin went…man…i knew we shoulda tied him down.
Keep up the good work Mr Wei, keep it up. You’re doing a grand job showing the world just what we could all achieve if we put our mind to it. And when you’re tired of that would you like to sign here . . and join up with Head Bangers Association
Wow, I’m shocked by all these negative comments.
Sure, the guy is not an elite athlete, but he’s got the spirit of the games — enough so to make him want to pierce his skin 2008 times.
I guess spirit and conviction is something that you fat, slacker, instant-gratification-craving Yanks wouldn’t understand.
Have fun with your crumbling nation.
Crap guys, our nation is crumbling! If we could just learn to appreciate chinese accupuncturists’ publicity stunts, we would be a wholesome nation again. For shame, America!
Exactly! it’s the simple things you must learn to love!
No need to live in paranoia just because your country is run by warlords and down-sydrome cocaine addicts!
Someone piledrive this guy.
WTF
Amazing how this article elicits such a variety of responses-
Seems like he dreamed up a crazy idea and is having fun with it. Its pretty easy to trash talk someone when they step out of the norm
Good for him for having a little fun.
Wow that’s amazing..
How does he sleep? +_+
LOL this is an awesome article. its just like 4chan even funnier keep up the good comments!
Remember this came from the country that gave us William
Hung and Lekker boys so what do you expect If he didnt hurt anyone then let him be all he can be ………At least till I can get a tesla coil going near his head
Bwahaahaa
hahahaha i luv it! who cares if its for attention, every1 is doing nething and everything for it! screw it, live life!
Brilliant!
Two words tetanus shot.
On the tesla coil I was thinking the same thing.
WOW!!! I mean WOW!!! Why would anyone do that? Well, he did! I bet they injected him with something to stop the pain. 1 piercing and I will knock myself unconcious by running into a wall screaming! LOL!
lol there are alot of funny comments here, just like on youtube. eventually someone says something, another person doesnt agree and someone doesnt agree with them….and the comments dont relate to the topic.
but hey, here theres still alot that are on topic.
lol tesla coil
smiley:wouldnt running into a wall, knocking yourself unconscious be more painful that a single piercing?
i have 11 and i love them all.the pain is seriously nothing.
but acupuncture is different…because it sits on certain nerves or tendons..muscles..etc so you get this weird ache similar to a dead leg but more sharp.
i think this guy in the pic should have made some longer ones and have a tiney chinese flag attatched to the end
sorry about the essay…
but..does he have one in the bridge of his nose?
OMG ITS PINHEAD RUN FOR YOUR LIVES OR HE’LL RIP YOU APART!
