She probably shouldn’t have put an octopus on her face.
Too much hentai, or not enough. Hard to say, really.
“Put octopus on face, get bit.” - Ancient Chinese saying
It’s all fun and games until you find out that octopus has a beak that can cut like scissors.
My mother-in-law has a saying that fits this situation wonderfully. “Way to go, dumbass!”
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Bisceglia did get revenge of sorts: She boiled and grilled the creature and served it on a salad.
Don’t fuck with the wild life
So, this is different than the video of the woman who tried to eat a live octopus and got bitten? (And, to my mind, deserved to be bitten for such a thing).
I haven’t watched any videos of people being bitten by octopi since I’m not really a fan of watching videos of people getting hurt, even if they may have essentially done it to themselves.
What a pretty octopus
Don’t do this at home, kids.
I feel sorry for the octopus. I hope it wasn’t injured because of her stupidity.
Obligatory: Christ, what an asshole. Animals are not toys or props, and if you live somewhere that has venomous animals, and you intend to be in its habitat, fucking around, you should really know it. Had it been a blue ringed octopus (which are also found in that area), she would be freakishly fucking lucky to be alive. What a goddamn dumbass.
People always underestimate the octopus. I recall one story about an aquarium that suddenly found members of its shark population ending up dead and maimed each morning. They put a camera on the tank to figure out what was going on and solve the mystery. You can guess who was snacking on the sharks.
